Summary

Planning staff told the City of Franklin Planning Commission that state law now requires agendas to list each member's appointing body and term; staff also announced a planning department retirement and an open civil technician position.

Planning Department staff notified the City of Franklin Planning Commission on May 20 that recent changes in Indiana law require public meeting agendas to include each member's appointing board and the length of their terms. Joanna said the department is working with IT to adopt a standard format for including those details on future meeting agendas and that the names and appointment details were being added to the current agenda in compliance with the new requirement.

Joanna also announced the retirement of a long-serving planning department member, Jim (last name not specified on the record), who served the city for 15 years, and said the department has posted a civil technician position. She asked members of the public and commissioners to refer qualified applicants to the planning department and to forward resumes to her office.

No formal personnel action was taken at the May 20 meeting; the announcement served to inform commissioners and the public about the agenda-change compliance and the vacancy in the planning department.
