<br />Item No: __7B__ <br />Meeting Date: Apr 24, 2017 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />Administrator Review : ____ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Jon Sevald, Planner <br />Item Title/Subject: First Reading and Introduction, Ord 933, Amending City <br />Code, Section 401.06, Subd 3, relating to Planning <br />Commission Agenda Sessions (Special Planning Case SP- <br />209-17) <br /> <br /> <br />Introduction: <br />The Planning Commission Bylaws are based on Chapter 401.06, Subd 3 of the City <br />Code. At the April 5, 2017, Planning Commission meeting, the Commission amended <br />its Bylaws, removing “Agenda Sessions”. Staff is requesting that the City Council <br />amend the correlating language in the City Code so that the two documents are <br />consistent. <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion: <br />There are four types of Planning Commission meetings; (1) Regular Meetings, (2) <br />Special Meetings, (3) Emergency Meetings, and (4) Agenda Sessions. The intent of <br />Agenda Sessions is to discuss non-actionable items. Historically, a regular meeting <br />would be adjourned, and an agenda session convened to review meeting minutes and <br />staff updates. The minutes would then be approved at the next regular meeting. <br />Agenda Sessions were last held in 2013. The Planning Commission’s current practice <br />is to discuss non-actionable items as part of its Regular Meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends a first reading and introduction of Ordinance 933, amending City <br />Code, Section 401.06, Subd 3, deleting “Agenda Sessions”. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br />________________________ <br />Jon Sevald, AICP <br />Planner <br /> <br />
