AGENDA ITEM NO. 1: Discussion of Protocol Issues
In review of Report No. 00 -221, it was decided that the third paragraph should be rewritten. Following
the discussion of possible statements, Development Services Director Callaway suggested paragraph
three to read as follows; Future agendas of the Planning and Zoning Commission will identify items
which are not set for public hearing and specify a time for public comment and provide an opportunity
for public comment prior to the items that are scheduled for public hearings. Chairman Mooney
pointed out that comments are not being restricted but rather encouraged. Assistant City Attorney
Nemcik indicated that this statement complies with the Open Meetings Act. She asked if as a matter
of protocol, the time be limited as in the public hearing portion of the meeting. Commissioner Floyd
recommended that the public comment portion of the meeting have the same time limitations as the
public hearing portion. Chairman Mooney asked Mr. Callaway if the document can be revised for the
Commission to take action on during the regular meeting. Mr. Callaway indicated that he will revise
the document for action by the Planning and Zoning Commission during the regular meeting.
