Consideration to approve a staff-initiated petition to modify Section 101-28, Planning Commission rules and procedures, of the Town of Tyrone's code of ordinances to permit the Planning Commission Chairman to vote on any matter presented to the Commission. Phillip Trocquet, Town Planner Mr. Trocquet informed Council that the ordinance change was staff-initiated. He shared that the current rules and procedures allowed the Planning Commission chairman to make and second motions, but not to vote unless in a tie-break scenario. This was similar to the mayor’s position. The provision was unnecessary because the Planning Commissioners were equally appointed by the mayor and council. The Planning Commission chairman did not operate as an elected official. He added that not many jurisdictions limit the chairman vote. Currently, the chairman can only break a tie vote. Staff recommended the change and he added that the Planning Commissioners were also in favor of the change, including Chairman Nebergall. A motion was made to approve the changes to Sec. 101-28 Rules and Procedures for the Town of Tyrone Planning Commission to grant the voting ability to the Chairman position. Motion made by Council Member Campbell, Seconded by Council Member Hill. Voting Yea: Council Member Howard, Council Member Furr. XI.
