Council approves changes to Planning Commission procedures allowing chair to vote
Summary
Ordinance 25-06 amending SOC 10-3-1 to define quorum and allow the Planning Commission chair to vote was presented by Assistant City Manager Summer Palmer and adopted unanimously by the council.
The council voted unanimously on May 6 to adopt Ordinance 25-06, which amends South Ogden Code (SOC) 10-3-1 to clarify Planning Commission procedures including a definition of quorum and an explicit allowance for the commission's chair to cast votes on all items. Assistant City Manager Summer Palmer presented the proposal and Council Member Susan Stewart requested a correction to the ordinance date prior to the vote.
Mayor Russell Porter called the motion to approve Ordinance 25-06; the motion passed with all members present voting yes. The change updates internal planning commission governance and is intended to remove ambiguity about the chair's voting authority.
