�'l. It, Z' ' MEMO T0: Mayor and City Co;; FROM: Clerk_ Administrat DATE: January 26, 1984 SUBJECT: PLANNING COMMISSION VACANCIES Pursuant to your direction at the January 23rd Council Meeting, I contacted Planning Commission Chairperson Peg Mountin to determine the reasoning for the Planning Commission recommending the appointment of three individuals to the Commission to increase its membership to nine members. Mrs. Mountin indicated that the Commission did discuss the matter in depth, that all members were individually polled on the issue and that it was a unanimous decision of the Commission to recommend the appointment of the three applicants to increase the membership to nine for the following reasons: 1. The Commission feels that they have in the past worked well with nine members and that nine members do not create any operational problems. 2. The addition of these three individuals to the Commission would give greater representation to the area of the City e south of Highway 10 whereas current membership is more towards the north half of the City. None of the applicants were issue oriented and each of them individually desired to be on the Commission due to then interests in serving the City and being a member of the Planning Commission. 4. The Commission members felt that each of these individuals would provide a different knowledge and experience base to the Commission which would be of benefit to them during their activities. Mrs. Mountin reiterated the request of the Commission that the three applicants to the Planning Commission be appointed thus increasing the membership of the Planning Commission to nine members and emphasized that she felt that this increased member- ship would in no way diminish the effectiveness of the Commission or their ability to deal with the issues before them.
