Mounds View Planning Commission January 5, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 19 Chairperson Peterson stated the Planning Commission was not ignorant of the monetary factors, however, he believed the Commission’s decision was based upon non-monetary issues. He added that even if the Commission had considered the monetary issues, he did not believe this would have altered their decision. Planning Associate Ericson requested the Planning Commission amend the agenda, and review the minutes, prior to adjourning the meeting. Chairperson Peterson suggested the Commission could amend the agenda to indicate that the three items listed on the Agenda Session be re- numbered as Items 9,10 and 11. Planning Associate Ericson asked if the Commission would prefer to review the minutes at the beginning or the end of the meeting. He advised that the City Council reviews the minutes at the beginning of their meeting, and appears to move through this quite rapidly, however, the Commission may desire to consider this review at the end of the meeting, to avoid requiring applicants to wait, if the review is very lengthy and time consuming. Chairperson Peterson advised that the review of the minutes should be conducted at the end of the meeting. Planning Associate Ericson stated staff would draft the agendas to reflect this in the future. Commissioner Miller inquired if the recording secretary would then record all of the corrections to the minutes. Planning Associate Ericson stated this is the procedure at the City Council meetings, and it is a decision that can be made by the Planning Commission and staff. He indicated he had no problem making the corrections himself, and did not believe staff would mind continuing in this manner. He inquired if the presence of the recording secretary would be necessary at this point, since she would only be recording the adjournment of the meeting. Chairperson Peterson advised that someone could join the meeting during the review of the minutes, and request consideration of an issue. He stated the meeting would still be called to order, and although the Planning Commission would not necessarily take any action at that point, they could listen to the issue, and the information could be recorded in the minutes. Planning Associate Ericson advised that the recorder could simply indicate that discussion was held regarding a specific issue, or clarification was provided, however, she would not need to record the specific corrections to the minutes. Commissioner Miller pointed out that the minutes are already very lengthy. Chairperson Peterson stated it was not necessary for the recording secretary to take the minutes of the corrections to the minutes.
