Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,January 8, 2024 <br /> Page 14 <br /> Commissioners may propose, discuss and approve", so, if two members agree to <br /> add something, then it is added. He noted this has not been a problem. <br /> Councilmember Groff thought a possible problem would be with the Planning <br /> Commission. He indicated when he was on the Commission, the members felt it <br /> was very structured by Statute. He stated that was the only Commission he could <br /> think of that would appreciate the direction. <br /> Councilmember Etten asked if it would be best for the Planning Commission, <br /> because of its statutorily role, to have a more formal process as the Council has, <br /> noting that could be put in the update of 201,because of the Commission's unique <br /> role. He was not sure it was necessary. <br /> Councilmember Groff did not think that two Commissioners was enough and it <br /> should be by a majority vote. <br /> Councilmember Strahan asked if the Planning Commission brought something <br /> forward, would it bring the item to the level of Council rule number 8 or does it <br /> actually put it on the agenda. <br /> Mayor Roe explained the way the bench handout is written, At a Commission <br /> meeting, under review of the future agendas, which is perhaps something that the <br /> liaison would initiate through discussing what is coming up at future meetings,then <br /> a Commissioner could say what they would like to discuss. Right now, the way it <br /> is set up, very broadly, the Commission may discuss and approve the inclusion of <br /> agenda items for future meetings. He thought,without saying it, the majority of the <br /> Commission would have to be in favor of it. <br /> Councilmember Strahan wondered if that should follow the Council process where <br /> somebody brings it up and it comes back to the next meeting where it is discussed <br /> and decided for a future agenda item. <br /> Mayor Roe indicated he was thinking about that and one way to say that would be <br /> "which may include deferring the matter to a future discussion." <br /> Councilmembers Etten and Schroeder thought at that point, to have the language <br /> just like the Council's language, would make it simpler. <br /> Councilmember Groff concurred. <br /> Mayor Roe asked if the Council wanted to add the Council procedure for all <br /> Commissions. <br /> The Council concurred. <br />
