CAC members discuss broadening bylaws beyond land use and changing ‘may’ to ‘shall’ for county consultation
Summary
Committee members discussed amending CAC bylaws to expand the committee's scope beyond land use to other community matters and recommended changing language from 'may' to 'shall' to strengthen county consultation obligations.
Members of the LC Citizen Advisory Committee reviewed draft bylaw language and proposed edits to broaden the CAC's stated activities beyond land use. One member urged adding language to allow the CAC to deal with "other issues affecting the LC community," including county, state and federal interactions.
Members specifically discussed altering a bylaw provision that now reads the county "may consult" with the CAC to stronger language — changing "may" to "shall" — so that the county would be required to consult the CAC on specified actions. A committee member said: "It says that the county may consult... you're trying to change it to shall, which... it should be a shall." Participants agreed that documenting the CAC's broader scope and strengthening consultative language would help the community interact more effectively with county and other agencies.
No formal motion or vote was taken; members asked staff (Mist y) to circulate a revised draft for review before the next meeting.
Ending: Members agreed to consider specific language changes and asked staff to prepare an updated draft of the bylaws for the next meeting.
