Part of our town’s Planning Commission meeting last night involved a discussion of the chairperson’s roles and responsibilities. It’s not a bad idea to review all members’ roles every so often, but citizen-volunteers are not the only ones with roles in these matters.
City leadership and staff might possess the authority to act expediently, but it is reasonable for them to explain the exercise of that authority. The matter is as much about professional staff as citizen commission members or legal counsel.
In any event, there were other matters on the agenda.
