Council allows Planning Commission chair and vice chair to vote
Summary
Council approved ordinance 25-06 to permit the Planning Commission chair and vice chair to cast votes at commission meetings; staff said the change aligns South Ogden with peer jurisdictions and helps when quorums are small.
Council considered ordinance 25-06, which would change South Ogden code to allow the Planning Commission chair and vice chair to vote on items while presiding. Assistant City Manager Summer Palmer presented the change, saying it would bring the commission "more in line with those" in neighboring cities and provide "an additional voice" when attendance is low.
After brief questions about implementation timing, council moved and approved the ordinance with a date change. The Planning Commission had reviewed and approved the change at its prior meeting before the ordinance came before council; the council vote was recorded in roll-call as affirmative by present members.
