Petoskey zoning board amends agenda, approves minutes, holds closed session and elects officers
Summary
At its May 6 meeting the Petoskey City Zoning Board of Appeals amended the agenda, approved several sets of minutes, voted to enter a closed session under MCL 15.2681(h), and completed its annual election of officers.
The Petoskey City Zoning Board of Appeals amended its May 6 agenda to add approval of minutes (including a closed-session set) and to relabel the adjournment item as "board members' comments and questions." The board approved the motion to amend the agenda by voice vote.
The board then moved to approve minutes from the Feb. 4, Feb. 17 (including closed-session minutes) and a March 11 special meeting. A motion to approve those minutes passed with one abstention.
Later in the meeting the board voted to adjourn into closed session to consider material exempt from disclosure under Michigan Compiled Laws section 15.2681(h) to receive an attorney-client privileged written legal opinion. The board conducted a roll-call vote to enter closed session; the motion passed.
Under new business the board completed its annual election of officers for the coming year. Following nominations and a vote, members congratulated two colleagues on the appointments. The board did not record a separate roll-call tally in the transcript for the election, but members verbally confirmed the results and offered congratulations.
Board members used the later portion of the meeting to discuss future procedure for a remanded case and requested a consolidated timeline of events and materials for the next meeting. Staff advised that questions about specific properties could require closed-session discussion if they related to pending or past litigation or confidential advice.
