Planning Commission adopts revised 2025 calendar, adds placeholder second meeting each month
Summary
The commission voted to adopt a revised 2025 calendar that includes a placeholder second meeting each month to expedite planning cases; staff will cancel unused second meetings as needed.
At the end of the February 20 meeting, the Augusta Planning Commission voted to adopt a revised 2025 calendar that adds a second, placeholder meeting each month to allow the commission to move cases more quickly when needed.
Kimmy explained the option: the calendar would show two meetings per month as placeholders; staff would cancel the second meeting when it is not needed rather than calling special meetings. Commissioners said a regular placeholder would accelerate scheduling of time-sensitive items and public hearings. One commissioner said the two-meeting calendar would help with cases such as upcoming text amendments that otherwise might wait several weeks.
A motion to revise the 2025 calendar to include two meetings per month carried by voice vote. Staff said it will notify commissioners of the scheduled dates and will cancel second meetings when they are not required.
Ending: The revised calendar will appear in staff notices and be used administratively; individual meeting cancellations will be posted when applicable.
