City of Mounds View Staff Report May 6, 1999 Page 2 Regarding the language concerning the filling of Planning Commission vacancies, Section 1 of the Ordinance removes language from the Code which had stated that the Mayor,with approval of the City Council, shall fill such vacancies for the unexpired term of appointments, based upon the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission. This italicized clause is being removed so that the remaining language is consistent concerning all types of vacancies and appointment processes. The Planning Commission, at its March 7, 1999 regular meeting, approved Resolution 572-99, a resolution recommending to the City Council that Ordinance 629 be approved. Staff discussed this item further with the Commission at its meeting on April 21, at which time the Commission was made aware of a requested addition to the Ordinance, that being the above-mentioned deletion of text from Section 401.03, Subdivision 1 c concerning Planning Commission input toward Commission appointments. The City Attorney has been sent a copy of this Ordinance prior to the meeting on April 26, 1999 for his review and comment. The City Council gave first reading to the proposed ordinance on April 26, 1999. Options: a. The Planning Commission and staff suggest that the City Council give second reading and approval of the Ordinance at the May 10th meeting and direct staff to publish the ordinance. b. Direct staff to revise proposed Ordinance 629 as may be necessary and to bring it back for further consideration at a future meeting. James Ericson,Planning Associate Attachments: 1.
