Recommendation:
Elect a Chair and Vice Chair
Appoint an Environmental Review Committee representative (recommendation
to the City Council)
Appoint a Housing Commission representative
Appoint a Design Review Committee member and an alternate
Appoint an Economic Development Committee representative
Background:
The terms of office of the Chair, Vice Chair and Design Review Committee
members are for one year and end in January of each year.
The Municipal Code provides that the Chair of the Design Review Committee is
the Vice Chair of the Planning Commission, so only one member and an
alternate need to be appointed.
The Planning Commission sends a representative to the Housing Commission to
provide better communication between the Commissions. The Planning
Commissioner is not a voting member and there is no term of office. New
appointments occur from time-to-time; the same representative may be
reappointed or a new representative may be selected. Usually the selection is
determined by the level of interest of a particular Planning Commissioner.
Discussion:
Chair and Vice Chair: The selection of the Chair typically is the Vice Chair, who is Marty
Miller. The selection of the new Vice Chair typically is based on seniority. David Kaneda is
the most senior planning commissioner, appointed on January 22, 2007. Jessica Rose is the
next senior planning commissioner, appointed on October 16,2007.
Current Appointments: A list of the current Planning Commission appointments
is enclosed. As noted, Lisa Giefer is the current Chairperson and the
Environmental Review Committee (ERC) representative. Marty Miller is the
Planning Commission Vice Chair, Design Review Committee Chair and
Economic Development Committee representative. David Kaneda is the current
Design Review Committee and Housing Commission representative.
