Mr. He�land brought up several problems �hat ha.ve been bother-
ing him r�cer��ly. One is in re�ard to decisions of the Plan-
r�ing Commission being in�'lneneed by p�es�u.re groups. Iie
feels that the g�.annin.g Comm3ssion should hear �he ob�eetions
and complaints of t�ie dpen meeti�gss but �hc� decisions af the
Pl�,ning Corrm�is�ion �hich are to be passed on to the Co�x�.ci1 ;
as recommenda�ions should be made in executive session.
Also, it was r���all�d that the suggestion had beer� made ia
�he past that we mo�e or less aecep� the repor� of committees
re�ard.�ng plats, �ezoning, etc. Mr. Hetland feels �hat the
co��tee should br3ng in the reports and facts, but tl�at °
the en�Gire Planning Co�ission should feel free �o cri�ieize
and change the report of thc� co�.ittee, if nec�asar�r. Mr.

� re�ec��d and becomes a part of the m3nutes, the reasons shou::a..d `!
be placed in the miuutes for either the passing or re�ect�.n�
