Planning commission updates bylaws to clarify appointments, attendance and training

The Planning Commission adopted bylaw amendments on June 11 to clarify appointment and attendance procedures and to add removal and vacancy‑filling processes. Johanna Blanco reviewed the key edits: appointees will be confirmed by City Council, a newly appointed commissioner "may not participate in a public meeting until they complete one hour of annual training on general powers and duties," and the chair (or designee) will take verbal roll call for electronic meetings instead of the recorder.
