PlanningBoard | 2007-03-12 | 12 | 8-C. Planning Board Rules and Procedures. Resolution amending the Planning Board Rules and Procedures. Ms. Mooney noted that the section on page 5 (Deliberations and Decisions) that discussed a Board member who abstains was outdated, and was at least 17 to 20 years old. She noted that the rules presently state that the Board member was not required to indicate a reason, and suggested removing that section altogether. She suggested substituting language similar to, "Conflict of interest shall be according to State law." Acting President Cook wished to revise the Conflict of Interest section, and did not want the removal of an outdated section to be misconstrued. She would like it to read that the policy would be governed by State law. Member Ezzy Ashcraft noted that she was uncomfortable voting for something that she has not seen in writing. Member Kohlstrand noted that her intent in recommending that the Staff Communications be moved forward was to allow time to hear a report from staff, but did not have a preference where it was schedule in relation to Oral Communications. She believed the public felt more comfortable in having it come after Oral Communications. Member Cunningham believed it made more sense to keep it where it was scheduled. Member Mariani noted that City Council held their Oral Communications at the end of their calendar, which required members of the public to wait many hours to speak. She preferred to hold it at the beginning of the meeting. Board member Kohlstrand moved to adopt Planning Board Resolution No. PB-07-07 to amend the Planning Board Rules and Procedures. Board member Mariani seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 6 (Lynch absent). Planning Board Minutes Page 12 March 12, 2007 | PlanningBoard/2007-03-12.pdf |
