4. Commission Matters
AVERY: Reported that she represented the Commission at a meeting of the Sunshine Ordinance Task Force on Tuesday, 12.18.01. regarding two complaints filed by Mr. Bob Planthold. The first complaint was that the Commission violated the Sunshine Ord., Sec 67.16 of the Administrative Code by failing to take a roll call vote on item 22 of the Commission's 9/13/01 calendar. Since Sec. 67.16 of the Sunshine Ord. only requires the Commission Secretary to record in the minutes the roll call vote–not that the policy body actually has to take a roll call vote–the Task Force found the Planning Commission to be in violation of the spirit of the Ordinance. The second complaint–that of a seriatim meeting between members of the Planning Commission during the hearing of item 22 on the Commission's 9/13/01 calendar–was withdrawn by Mr. Planthold for a lack of witnesses willing to come forward.
