City moves housekeeping changes to Planning Commission code; clarifies member compensation

Director Slick presented an ordinance (No. 25‑1285) described as a housekeeping effort to consolidate prior ordinances into Title 14 of the municipal code addressing the organization, duties and compensation of the Planning Commission. Staff said the proposed ordinance collects four prior ordinances (dating back to 2001, 2012 and 2021) into the municipal code and clarifies items including membership numbers, selection criteria and the annual compensation of $300 for planning commission members (noting the $300 amounts to $25 per month for members). Director Slick said the change is administrative and intended to place the planning commission provisions where most users expect to find them in the municipal code. The transcript records the staff presentation and a commissioner clarification about the annual pay; a formal vote on the ordinance is not recorded in the provided work session excerpt.
