Mayor Announces
Policy on Meetings
Mayor John W. Snider an
nounced today that a joint
meeting of the city council
and city planning commission
will be called only if it be
comes apparent that council
members disagree with a com,
mission recommendation.
The council had moved July
17 to hold an open meeting
with the planning body prior
to the public hearing on a
Berrydale zone change sched
uled for Aug. 21. A joint pol
icy committee meeting was
then held and it was decided
not to hold an open meeting
of the two unless differences
subsequently arose.
Mayor Snider said if it be
came apparent in a council
meeting that certain members
opposed a planning commis
sion recommendation, a joint
meeting would be called rath
er than a vote on the recom
mendation itself. If the mem
bers voted for the joint meet
ing, he explained, it would
confirm the difference of
opinion.
Unless such a difference
should arise, he said, a meet
ing is not considered neces
sary. He said the council had
voted down only two commis
sion recommendations in re
cent months.
