Planning Commission to use dedicated Gmail account for public comments; Patrick to monitor initially
Summary
Commission voted to move its public-comments contact from a personal account to a commission-controlled Gmail account with automatic acknowledgements and shared credentials; Patrick will initially review messages and responsibility will be shared over time.
The commission agreed to replace Patrick Calecas' personal email with a new Gmail account as the official Planning Commission contact for public comments. Kim Morrill will create the account; the commissioners decided to set up an automatic response thanking senders and stating the regular meeting schedule, to forward incoming messages to members, and to share the password among members.
As an initial arrangement, Patrick will take responsibility for reviewing incoming emails, with the intention of sharing that duty among other commissioners over time. The commission described the account as a way to facilitate comments from residents who cannot attend meetings without creating additional work for staff.
