5. ADVISORY BOARD ORDINANCE
The Planning Commissian reviewed the proposed Advisory Braard Ordinance
and made the following suggestions:
1.) They would still prefer to be called a commission as opposed
to a Baord.
2.) 170:10 - Appointments and Terms of Officee The concern was
� that this section was entirel.y unacceptable. They prefer the
3 year staggered term as is now practiced. Tt was fel� tha�
the three (3) year term gives a certain amount of continuity�
to the Commission.
3.) 170;11 - Organization. They would delete the first sentence
because it was felt that this should be a part af their by-1aws. �
� 3�lso, this sen�ence does not state tliat �he Chairman and
Secretary must be appoznted from among its► members. The �cond
sentence should be changed to read. . "the Cammission shall. . ."
as opposed to the ��secretary shall:"
�.) 170:13. The first sentence should read "each Board or Com-
mission shall hold at least one regu.lar meeting monthly. . . "
The Commission not�d that this ordinance is very general in nature, Because
of this, they would suggest that some specific reference be made to the
by-laws of each board or commission and that these by-laws be approved.
by the Council whenever they are amended. In addition, the Commission
noted that most probable, several amendments would be suggested by Midwest
Planning as they review the section which pertains to the Planning Commission.

wald committee be a-�tended.
