Title
Request for Approval of Amendments to the Planning Commission Bylaws
Body
Resolved, that the Rochester Hills Planning Commission approves the proposed amendments to the City of Rochester Hills Planning Commission ByLaws, dated December 10, 2024, with the following two changes:
1. To remove the word "kinship" from the last sentence of Article VII Section 4, so that the sentence reads "No Commission member shall participate in the discussion or vote upon any question where such Commission member has a private interest by association because of employment or a financial interest other than as a citizen of the City generally", due to the fact that kinship is covered in the first sentence of this section that references immediate family members.
2. To add "public" and "along with its resolutions, transactions, findings, and determinations" to Article IX Section 4, so that the statement reads "A public record shall be kept of those speaking before the Commission, along with its resolutions, transactions, findings, and determination", as suggested by the City attorney.
