Item No: 6A <br />Meeting Date: December 6, 2006 <br />Type of Business: Commission Business <br /> <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To: Mounds View Planning Commission <br />From: Jim Ericson, Community Development Director <br />Subject: Consideration of Resolution 853-06, a Resolution Establishing <br />the Planning Commission’s 2007 Meeting Schedule. <br /> <br />Introduction: <br /> <br />The Planning Commission establishes its meeting schedule each year by resolution. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />The meeting schedule proposed for 2007 represents the usual first and third Wednesday of <br />every month with the exception of January, which was adjusted to account for New Years <br />Day, and July, which will need to be adjusted to account for Independence Day. <br /> <br />The first Wednesday in July is July 4th. The two options to deal with this holiday is to (a) <br />only hold only one meeting in July or (b) shift the meetings to the second and fourth <br />Wednesdays of July. Because summer months tend to be busier times of the year, staff <br />would recommend going with option B, shifting the meetings to the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays. <br />July is not a month with five Wednesdays however, so holding a meeting on the 4th <br />Wednesday of July would mean the Commission would meet the following week, which <br />would be the first Wednesday of August. Staff does not have a problem with this, however <br />August DOES have five Wednesdays so the August meetings could continue the second <br />and fourth Wednesday schedule and be back on track in September. <br /> <br />There do not appear to be any other conflicts with holidays that would fall midweek with the <br />exception of November 21st, which is the day before Thanksgiving. If there are no planning <br />cases for consideration during that time, the meeting could be cancelled. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Discuss options for dealing with the Fourth of July and Approve Resolution 853-06, a <br />resolution establishing the 2007 meeting schedule of the Planning Commission. The <br />schedule attached has been drafted with the August meetings falling on the second and <br />fourth Wednesdays. The proposed schedule may be amended based on Commission <br />direction. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br />________________________ <br />Jim Ericson <br />Community Development Director
