Commission backs code change to let City Council set Planning Commission stipends
Summary
The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended that City Council approve an amendment allowing Council to determine the Planning Commission stipend; staff said the amendment meets four code-amendment criteria and clarifies current practice.
The Midvale Planning & Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend a text amendment to Section 17-4-1 of the Midvale Municipal Code allowing the City Council to determine the Planning Commission stipend. Staff advised that the amendment meets all four criteria for zoning-code amendments, including clarifying who approves stipend levels and aligning code with current practice.
The staff report states the amendment "fulfills all four amendment criteria," noting that Title 17 contemplates compensating commissioners within budget constraints and that planning commissions are a required part of government land-use regulation. Commissioner Liedtke moved to recommend the amendment; Commissioner Snow seconded and the motion carried with all present voting yes. The recommendation will go to City Council for final action.
