commissioners I wanted to give a little bit of background for this one. So each year

3:12

the staff assists the commission in putting together an annual report looking back at

3:18

the accomplishments of the commission over the prior calendar year and then the commissions

3:23

are also offered the opportunity to make any sort of recommendations that they would like

3:27

to make to the personnel and public employees committee or PMP committee and to City Council

3:33

as part of that annual report. So on November 14th of this last year the planning and

3:37

design commission discussed its 2024 annual report and decided to include a recommendation

3:43

in that report to PMPE that the committee should in consultation with the commission

3:48

explore reducing the number of planning and design commission seats from 13 to 11 seats

3:54

and also looking at perhaps changing the number of affirmative votes required to pass
