Why This Vote Matters
The city council voted to shrink the Planning Commission from 9 members to 7 members, effective January 2009. The commission reviews development projects and zoning changes, and reducing its size will make it easier to schedule meetings and reach decisions when members are unavailable. The measure passed in a divided vote of 6-3, with council members McLaughlin, Bates, and Butt opposed. This is a routine administrative change that affects how the commission operates but doesn't change what types of projects it reviews.
