3. ORDINANCE 444 – MODIFICATIONS TO COMPENSATION FOR PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSIONERS, AND TO ORDINANCE LANGUAGE
REGARDING POWERS AND DUTIES, AND TERMS OF OFFICE.
And
4. ORDINANCE 445 – RELOCATING ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES FOR PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSIONERS FROM TITLE 17 –
ZONING TO TITLE 2 – ADMINISTRATION AND PERSONNEL.
Ms. Erin Callahan presented item three and four. The following ordinance 444 is revising ordinance 276, which established the zoning
ordinance, and ordinance 407, which modified the terms of the municipal planning commission, in order to modify section 17.12.020 –
terms of office, section 17.12.060 (powers and duties) and section 17.12.070 (compensation). This is relating to the Planning & Zoning
Commission. The Commission has not received any kind of an increase in compensation since 2001 at a rate of $22.50 per meeting. They
are proposing to increase to $30.00 per meeting. There are a couple of other items that are housekeeping measures they thought they would
address at the same time. The other items that needed to be addressed are the terms of office – last time they were modified was to
eliminate a conflict state statue. In the past terms of commission, the commissioners would serve staggered four year terms. State statute
requires staggered two-year terms – this change was needed in order to be compliant. For powers and duties, the housekeeping needed was
the Planning & Zoning Commission has been housed within the zoning ordinance. A number of the sections in the ordinance relate to
personnel. They do not deal with their powers and duties over the zoning ordinance; they deal, in general, with what are the powers and
duties of the Planning & Zoning Commission. Which includes having the authority to study and investigate the subject of municipal planning
for forming a master plan. For Ordinance 445, this just moves all the personnel related sections and moves them in to the personnel
ordinance and creates new numbering. Eric asked if there was any questions – there were none from council. Mayor Griego asked if there
were any questions from the public – there were none. Since there are no other comments, Mayor Griego asked for motion from Council to
adjourn from public hearing and reconvene as council.
