Item to be presented
CONSENT CALENDAR
DATE: October 9, 1990
SUBJECT: Amendment to P88-003, relating to the rules and order for the
conduct of meetings
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
BACKGROUND
At the Planning Commission study session of 9-25-90, a majority of
Commissioners indicated they wished to change the Planning Commission
regularly scheduled meeting time from 6:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The attached
Resolution P90-49 was adopted on October 2, 1990. City Council Ordinance
89-23 requires the Council approve this change before the Planning Commission
action takes effect.
The purpose of the change is to allow Commissioners who are commuting, time to
arrive back in Santa Clarita. This same benefit may accrue to members of the
public who work outside the valley. The Parks and Recreation Commission meets
at 7:00 p.m. The Planning Commission further has adopted a policy not to
start new items after 11:00 p.m. and this is also called out in the attached
Resolution.
City Council approve Planning Commission Resolution P90-49 and direct staff to
implement effective November 6, 1990.
