MEMO TO: RICHARD AMBROSE
FROM: MICHAEL R. NAVE
RE : APPOINTMENTS TO PLANNING COMMISSION
The appointments to the Planning Commission
must be done in open public meeting, and cannot be
done by secret ballot. The attached Attorney General ' s
Opinions contains a good discussion of appointments to
advisory commissions.
It is my opinion, that the Ordinance changing
the method of appointments to the Planning Commission
may be enacted as an Agency Ordinance and be effectivd
immediately.
Language which should be inserted in the
Ordinance is contained in the enclosed Section
Immediate Effect.
