Meeting Transcript
Like to call tonight's meeting to order. Please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the United States of America. For which it stands. Indivisible with liberty and justice for all. As we begin our meeting this evening, I'll take a moment to acknowledge that we have a quorum of planning commissioners present with seven of nine commissioners in attendance. Commissioners Taylor Breen and Tony Bergita were unable to attend this evening. I want to thank everyone uh in the chamber for attending this evening's meeting. Planning commission meetings are an important part of the process for interpreting and applying the city's comprehensive plan and the unified development ordinance. It's important that our meetings are conducted with dignity and respect that applies to every person in attendance. We strive to provide an atmosphere where the ideas and opinions of all participants are held in the highest regard. Finally, the actions on the issues we discuss are ultimately under the responsibility of the City Council. As a planning commission, we're here to help the council as our elected representatives to be fully informed to make the best choices for our city. By statute, Planning Commission strives not to engage with any party on the issues on our agenda prior to our meeting. Should that interaction take place as a result of a business relationship or any other reinteraction, which we refer to as ex parte communication? Commissioners will report that interaction when we reach that item on the agenda. We'll now move to the consent agenda. This evening we have four items on our consent agenda. Commissioners, do you need to pull any items for additional information or questions from staff on these issues? Okay, seeing none, I'll call for a motion, please. Do I have a motion on the consent agenda? Mr. Chair, I move that we approve the consent agenda as stipulated by staff. Thank you, Commissioner Chapman. Do I have a second? Second. Thank you, Commissioner Taronis. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed, nay. That motion passes seven to zero. This evening we have no public hearings items. Nothing on our general business, so I will move forward. Uh do we have any announcements this evening? Yeah, just one quick announcement to note for our comprehensive plan update. We have our online survey and the online mapping opportunity still available on the city website. If you go to Alatha KS.gov slash elevateolatha, you can take the survey until it's open. We will be turning that off around January 24th. So now is the time to get back onto that website and give us feedback. Thank you. All right. And thank you to the staff for all their efforts on Elevate Olatha and review of our comprehensive plan. Our staff has just been hitting it out of the park on this. They're doing a great job. So thank you very much. With that, uh this meeting is hereby adjourned.
