[bouldercouncilhotline] Hotline: Additional Item for Matters--Dec 2. CC Meeting: Input from Planning Board

[cmosupport at bouldercolorado.gov]

Sender: Young, Mary

I would like to propose the following amendment to the current motion:

CURRENT MOTION:
That the Planning Board be encouraged to submit to the City Council their input and advice regarding concerns with planning issues in the community, the role of the Planning Board and possible changes or tools that may be helpful to resolving or addressing these concerns. In pursuit of such advice, the Planning Board may choose to hold meetings and/or public hearings on the topics, as well as create subcommittees to explore these areas. The advice need not come only in the annual letter to council, but may be
 brought forward at any time of the year. 


AMENDED MOTION:
That the Planning Board be encouraged to submit to the City Council their input and advice on planning matters identified by the Planning Board, and with approval of the City Council, regarding possible changes or tools that may be helpful in resolving
 or addressing these matters.  Input and advice could consist of possible changes or tools that may be helpful in resolving or addressing these matters. In pursuit of such advice, the Planning Board may choose to hold special meetings and/or public hearings,
 as allowed by the City Charter, on the topics as well as create subcommittees to explore these matters. Subcommittees will be allowed to meet with or without staff presence. The advice need not come only in the annual letter to council, but may be brought
 forward at any time of the year.

Council,


For context in consideration of the suggested motion by Tim and Sam, I want Council to have the following in mind.


First, the Charter gives all Boards and Commissions the right to place matters before the Council at anytime. The Charter language that supports this is as follows:


"The commissions shall have the right to the floor of the council to speak on plans and expenditures proposed or to appeal for a decision in a failure to agree with another commission or the manager.” Charter §130 [last paragraph].. 


Second, the Planning Board Rules going back at least to the 1980’s have put the Planning Board Chair in charge of setting the Planning Board agenda.



This existing rule empowers the PB broadly to work on issues that are within its jurisdiction. 


Thanks very much.

Dear Colleagues—

To clarify the direction from City Council that came out of the October 14, 2014
Joint City Council/Planning Board Study Session on Planning Issues and the BVCP with regard to the appropriateness and timing of Planning Board providing input to City Council, Sam Weaver and I would like the council to consider the following
 motion—
