AGENDA ITEM
AGENDA MATTER:
CONSIDERATION OF THE RULES AND POLICY COMMITTEE COMPOSITION FOR THE PLANNING
COMMISSION POLICY AND ORDINANCE REVISIONS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council is asked to consider changing the composition of membership on the Rules and Policy Committee temporarily for the Committee’s recommendation to the City Council regarding revisions to the Planning Commission’s rules for conduct of its meetings, proceedings, and business and its ordinance.
DISCUSSION:
At the May 20, 2024 meeting, the City Council asked for further consideration of the Rules and Policy Committee composition due to a potential conflict of interest with Councilmember Dyer-Kruse due to her husband’s pending permit application before the Planning Commission related to real property they own within the City. Pursuant to the City Council’s request, a memorandum analyzing Councilmember DyerKruse’s conflict of interest is attached to this staff report as Attachment 1.
As discussed in the memorandum, Councilmember Dyer-Kruse does not have a conflict of interest in decisions related to the Planning Commission’s policies and ordinance. Therefore, Councilmember DyerKruse does not have to recuse herself from participating on decisions related to the Planning Commission policies while her husband has a permit application pending before the Planning Commission. In its discretion, the City Council may change the membership of the Rules and Policy Committee at any time.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Receive and file the enclosed memorandum and take any action, as desired. No action required.
