<br /> <br /> <br />C. EX PARTE CONTACTS: Ex parte contacts are contacts between individuals <br />seeking to influence the decisions of the Planning Commission and individual <br />Commission members outside the meeting forum. Such contacts may include <br />communications with project applicants, supporters and opponents. <br /> <br />When the Planning Commission is involved in a matter which is to be heard <br />and decided by the Commission (e.g. variances), Planning Commissioners shall <br />indicate to the person contacting them that such communication and all <br />testimony needs to be offered at the hearing to ensure a fair hearing for all <br />parties. The intent is for Planning Commissioners to make their decisions <br />based on the same information provided to all Planning Commissioners. <br /> <br />Planning Commissioners should avoid expressing any opinion as to the merits <br />of the case outside of Commission meetings. When ex parte contacts occur, <br />the Planning Commissioner is responsible for notifying appropriate City staff <br />and for conveying the substance of any ex parte communication to other <br />Commission members at the next commission meeting at which the matter <br />discussed is under consideration. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />_______________________________________ <br />Gary Stevenson, Chairperson <br /> <br />ATTEST: <br /> <br />_______________________________________ <br /> James Ericson, City Administrator <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Revision History: <br /> <br />March 16, 2016 <br />January 24, 2007 <br />September 1, 2004 <br />February 21, 2001 <br />February 2, 2000 <br />March 5, 1997 <br />February 3, 1993 <br />October 1990 <br />Page 6
