<br /> <br />2. Agenda Sessions: An Agenda Session is an informal session of the Planning <br />Commission, typically held immediately following adjournment of a Regular or <br />Special meeting, at which time the Planning Commission may review minutes, <br />informally review proposed or pending planning cases or ordinance amendments, <br />discuss previous actions of the City Council or other Commissions, and to perform <br />other matters not requiring a vote of the Commission. <br /> <br />3. Special Meetings: From time to time, special meetings may be called in order to <br />process significant caseloads, to review works in progress such as comprehensive <br />plan updates or municipal code revisions, or to undertake a retreat or strategic <br />planning session, either amongst itself or in the company of the City Council or <br />other commissions. Special meetings can be proposed by any Commission member <br />or at the request of the Director of Community Development, yet must be approved <br />by a majority vote of the Commission. <br /> <br />4. Emergency Special Meetings. Emergency special meetings can be called via written <br />notice to the Director of Community Development by the Chairperson or two <br />Commission members, or by the Director of Community Development. (Emergency <br />special meetings are those in which the subject matter is of such an immediate <br />concern that it cannot be delayed until the next regular meeting of the Planning <br />Commission.) The Director of Community Development shall post and mail a notice <br />of any special meeting in accordance with State Statutes. Planning Commission <br />members shall be notified by telephone and in writing, if possible, at least seven days <br />prior to a special meeting. <br /> <br />5. Cancellation of Meetings: Regular or special meetings may be canceled by the <br />chairperson or Community Development Director in the event that there are no items <br />of business requiring the attention of the Commission, or for lack of a quorum, or in <br />response to inclement weather or for any other good and sufficient reason. Members <br />of the Commission shall be notified by telephone of any meeting cancellation. A <br />notice of the meeting cancellation shall be posted as required by State Statutes. <br /> <br />B. QUORUM: A majority of the number of voting members appointed to the Commission <br />shall constitute a quorum. <br /> <br />C. CONDUCT OF MEETINGS; ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />1. Meeting Chairperson: If neither the chairperson nor the vice chairperson is present to <br />conduct a meeting of the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission may elect <br />a meeting chair from among those members present prior to the commencement of <br />business. The election shall follow the procedures set forth in Section IV.B.3, except <br />that the Community Development Director, or his or her designee, shall conduct the <br />election. <br /> <br />2. Open Meeting Law: Meetings shall be conducted in accordance with the State of <br />Minnesota Open Meeting Law (Minn. Statutes 471.705).
