Can you please wait a moment?

Thank you.

Are there any changes to the minutes corrections?

Okay, then with that, if you are in the chambers and wish to make public comment on the minutes, please make your way to the podium, state your name for the record, and you'll have three minutes for your comment.

Good afternoon to the board.

I happen to look over the uh minutes and I wasn't on them.

And uh I remember uh you know what I spoke about uh at the minutes, and I don't really want to give it all away today because there was something that I said there that was related to uh what was what was uh on the minutes, but uh but it I I was ignored.

I just don't seem to have gotten on the minutes.

Um I'm quite sure I was there because I spoke about the topic, so just that usually it says something, you know, and if they don't say what you talked about, because often they do, it depends on which board or which meeting you're at, then they will say something like you oppose the project or you objected to the project or something like that.

But I wasn't on it, so that's what I object to.

Thank you.

Any other comments?

Okay, so with that, um, the minutes will stand approved as submitted.

Um, and now we move on to public comments.

Um we're now taking public comments.

This is on non-agenda matters, and this is time when any people, any person in the audience may address the commission on matters within the purview of the commission, but are not on the agenda.

And if you're in the chambers, please make your way to one of the podiums and you'll have three minutes and you'll see the countdown timer.

Go ahead, Miss Carmen.

Thank you.

Janice Carmen here, and we'll start over.

Uh I um I wanted to say that um I was uh present at a meeting, and that the meeting turned into mayhem uh before the meeting uh ended, and a person at the meeting, this is a city of uh Santa Rosa meeting, was uh attempting to make an allowance for a lack of parking by having the people agree that they would have any visitors calling ahead of time, and I tried to keep my feet on the ground and before.

Ms.

Carmen, I believe the c the item you're speaking on is on the agenda tonight.

So unless you have to do that.

But this isn't on the agenda because it had been adjourned.

The meeting had been adjourned, and this was happening after the meeting, and I'm reporting on it.

Okay, excuse me, please, but the item you'll I believe you are speaking on is on the agenda tonight.

So if you could please hold your comment until then.

Okay, well that's interesting.

Okay, so I'm going to go to another topic, and that is that when Diana uh uh had uh Terry Saunders who sits before you now, uh appointed to your planning commission from District 4.

He lives on McDonald Avenue, and uh we live in district three.

Diana was in charge, and now she's more of a lame duck since she can't go to meetings, she can't, she's been stripped of all of her meetings, she's been stripped of her commissions, and uh Terry is still on the planning uh commission, and I just want to bring the public's attention to this that Rincan Valley has a lot of problems.

Your problem is just one of them at the moment.

There are a lot of building projects that have been approved or are in various status east of Melita Road, and it's very serious right now, and people are very concerned about many issues, and we don't get heard.

There are some meetings that you can go to and you get heard, but not necessarily design review, planning commission.

Uh, there's some others that are doing well right now.

But I just want to say that it's really unfair that we have no representation when we have someone from district four and a lame duck that is the district uh city council member for city of Santa Rosa, District Three.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Any other comments on non-agenda items?

Okay, so with that, we'll close the public comment period.

Our statement of purpose, the planning commission is charged with carrying out the California planning and zoning laws in the city of Santa Rosa.

Duties include implementation of plans, ordinances, and policies relating to land use matters, assisting in writing and implementing the general plan and area plan, holding public hearings and acting on proposed changes to the zoning code, zoning map, general plan, tentative subdivision maps, and undertaking special planning studies as needed.

And before we proceed, I'd like to briefly go over the Brown Act meeting procedures.
