FRANK BOYLES, CITY MANAGER
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE AMENDING CITY CODE
CHAPTER 3, SECTION 2-3-3 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
DATES
December 19, 1994
The purpose of this ordinance amendment is to change the Planning
Commission meeting dates from the first and third Thursdays to the
second and fourth Monday, effective on or about February 1, 1995.
On or about February 1, 1995 the City Council Chambers will be moved
from City Hall to Fire Station 1. Since the fire department's normal
training night is Thursday evenings, it is necessary to revise the Planning
Commission meeting time from Thursdays to Mondays. This requires an
ordinance amendment.
Prior Lake City Code Chapter 3 provides that the Planning Commission
will meet on the first and third Monday of each Month. In order to foster
better coordination between Planning Commission and City Council
meetings, and in an effort to provide for harmonious building use between
the fire department and the remainder of the city, a change in meeting
nights is recommended.
The present first and third Monday schedule does not facilitate a "quick
turn around" of agenda items between the Planning Commission and City
Council. By revising the meetings to the second and fourth week of each
month there may be greater opportunity for quicker turn around between
the two bodies.
Thursday nights are primary training nights for the fire department.
Accordingly, if the Planning Commission meetings can be rescheduled to
some other evening (Monday night) there will be less likelihood of
conflicts.
Council has the following alternatives:
Authorize revision to City Code Chapter 3, changing the
Planning Commission's meeting night from the first and third
Thursday to the second and fourth Monday effective on or
about February 1, 1995.
2. Approve some other meeting date alternate.
3. Take no action.
