Committee; however, if a Commissioner wished to attend, he could.

Development Committee.

formally to Council after final discussion at a future Planning
Commission meeting.

c) Major Ordinance Revisions.
Commissioners and Council Members discussed various inconsistencies
contained in Ordinance #232. Commissioners Young and Perkins expressed
frustration in no action being taken on various errors they had pointed
out in writing.
After discussion, Mayor Cheney directed that the Commission outline
specifically the amendments they recommended to Ordinance #232 for
Council's consideration.
d) Commission Rules of Procedure.
Councilwoman Hillestad stated that concern had been expressed over the
absences of Commission Members which resulted, at times, in the lack of
a quorum and the inability to conduct the Town's business in a timely
manner. She wished to know if the Commission wanted Council to enforce
the Rules of Procedure which dealt specifically with the number of
absences permitted. No recommendations were forthcoming; however, with
regard to the absence of Chairman Hahn (excused), it was agreed that
Mayor Cheney would communicate with him to determine whether he planned
on assuming his Commission seat in the near future. Mayor Cheney was
L to report back to Council at their next meeting.
