Interim planner presents streamlined rules of procedure; commission to review in September
Summary
Kirsten, serving as interim planner, presented a streamlined draft of the commission's rules of procedure that focuses on the board's organization and duties (avoiding restating RSA text). She will circulate the draft with a redline and the commission will discuss details at the September meeting.
Kirsten, the interim planner (speaker 5), reviewed a new draft of the commission's rules of procedure and said she pared back earlier redlines to avoid restating statutory RSA language and instead focused on how the commission operates in Londonderry. She said she used recent models from other towns and that the draft will be circulated for member comment before a detailed September discussion. "I'm not gonna read it," Kirsten said, "What I'm gonna do after this is send it out to everybody so everybody has it to comment on, to look at, and then it can be discussed next time."
The draft addresses authority and purpose, membership and alternates, advisory-review limitations, certificate-of-approval procedures, demolition-delay review, meetings, conflict-of-interest guidance, and an orientation-style quick reference for new members. Members asked for small corrections (for example, a spelling of the Emmet/Emmett tool) and agreed to provide suggested edits by sending them to staff. The commission plans to return to the item in September for line-by-line review and possible adoption.
