Board debates twice‑monthly meeting proposal; code change would be required
Summary
Members discussed a separate commission consideration to increase DRB meetings to twice a month. Staff and the city attorney explained the change would require a code amendment and clerk scheduling; members were split on necessity and practicality.
During general business the board discussed a separate commission‑level proposal to require the Design Review Board to meet twice a month. Staff noted the change would require a code amendment (chapter 20) and that any additional meeting dates would come through the clerk’s office with proper notice; the proposal was not acted on by the board, which recorded mixed views about the workload and member recruitment challenges.
Some members said more frequent meetings would help move more projects through review and permit cycles; others cautioned that twice‑monthly meetings could make it harder to recruit and retain volunteer members. Staff said if commissioners adopt a change the clerk would schedule extra meetings and provide adequate public notice.
