One commission asked whether a meeting at a church or a community room <br />would be allowed. We believe that as long as a commission complies with the open meeting <br />� laws, and the facility hosting the meeting agrees that it is open to the public, the criteria would <br />� be met. <br />- The proposed commission code updates bring consistency to all commissions. Each commission <br />� code clarifies its establishment, duties and functions and purpose. <br />��� � The language in the Planning Commission code is slightly different because it includes language <br />addressing its statutory requirements. Based on discussions with Community Development <br />- Director Patrick Trudgeon and the Planning Commission Chair, we have proposed language <br />��� changes to the procedure for adopting the City Comprehensive Plan. <br />as` POLICY OBJECTIVE <br />�� Establish a City Code with consistent policies for all commissions to ensure that City Council, <br />: commissioners and staff have a clear understanding of the role and responsibilities of each <br />.. commission. <br />� FINANCIAL IMPACTS <br />� None <br />':� STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />.
