On July 8 the Common Council moved to adopt language directing the Planning and Zoning Board to notify council members when projects affecting their districts are filed and to make agendas available to the public. Sponsors said current notice practices do not reach council members unless they live within 400 feet of a proposed project, leaving members unaware of projects raised at the board.
Sponsors said formal notice to council members would improve constituent communication and allow members to respond to constituents who call about projects. The measure was discussed in the legislation committee for further development. The council moved the item forward with a referral to legislation so that specific notice procedures and any required code changes can be drafted.
The transcript notes the intent to ensure council members receive timely information on Planning and Zoning items and to require the board to include councilmember names and district notices in its filings; no ordinance language was recorded on the floor at the July 8 meeting.
