Council moves to amend code to reflect biannual pay for planning commissioners
Summary
Council reviewed an ordinance amendment that would change town code language stating planning commissioners 'shall serve without compensation' to allow council discretion to authorize the $450 biannual payments the town has paid since 2003.
Council considered an ordinance amendment to reconcile town code with existing practice of paying planning commission members $450 every six months.
The Zoning Administrator told council that "since 2003, the town has been paying the PC members 450 biannually" and recommended the code be amended so it reflects current policy and the town attorney's suggested language. A councilor asked why other code sections (for example, mayoral sections) were not being changed tonight; staff said this amendment is specific to the planning commission but invited members to flag any other sections that appear out of date.
Council signaled support for cleaning the code to match practice and directed staff to identify other outdated sections for future meetings.
