• <br /> PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> MEMO <br /> To: Mounds View Planning Commission <br /> From: Pamela Sheldon, Community Development Director <br /> Subject: Late Packet Item: Ordinance on Parking Lot Setback <br /> Additional Agenda Item <br /> Date: October 1, 1996 <br /> Ordinance on Parking Lot Setbacks: I would like to apologize to the Planning Commission for <br /> how late you are receiving the staff report on Item#8 on your meeting agenda for October 2. I <br /> had planned to prepare this report on the weekend and deliver it, but was not able to do so <br /> because of illness. As is noted in the report, I will be glad to review the two ordinances which <br /> accompany the report at your meeting and how they differ at the meeting, in case you do not have <br /> the time to review them in detail. Based on the 60-day rule, you do not need to take action on <br /> this item until October 9, but it would require you having a quorum and calling to order at that <br /> • meeting. <br /> Additional Item: At the City Council study session on September 30, the subject of Council <br /> liaisons was discussed. The chairman of the Economic Development Commission was at the <br /> meeting and expressed a desire for closer communication between the City Council and the EDC. <br /> Several ideas for improving communication between the City Council and all of the commissions <br /> were discussed including the following: <br /> • Have the chairman, or a member appointed by the Commission, report on the activity of <br /> the Commission each month at a regular Council meeting. This information would then be <br /> • •-: . : •- Q - - . • . . . CO . . _• _._ • _ .t • . .- .:. ..'''••� _ <br /> would have more visibility, and citizens would be better informed on what the <br /> commissions do. <br /> • Have the minutes from each of the commissions available to the other commissions. <br /> • Have an annual or biannual meeting between the City Council and each commission to <br /> discuss goals and objectives for the work of the Commission, and to allow time for <br /> discussion of issues. Perhaps the meeting with Planning Commission and City Council <br /> should be combined with the EDC because of overlapping areas of interest. <br /> • <br />
