a 2 ,T These meetings are only a part of the Planning Department staff's responsibilities to our citizen boards and commissions. Planning also provides staff support to the Board of Adjustment,the Historic Preservation Commission, the Water Resources Committee, the Township Advisory Councils, and the Water/Sewer Boundary Task Force. In addition, the Shaping Orange County's Future initiative will add new responsibilities for Planning staff, and the Flexible Development subdivision ordinance (effective July 1) will add a new requirement for community information meetings in conjunction with concept plan submittals. In an effort to try to spread out the meeting dates, the Historic Preservation Commission has already agreed to change their meeting date from the first Tuesday to the fourth Wednesday of the month(see attached memorandum). At the monthly meeting held June 17, 1996, Planning Staff suggested that the Planning Board's regular meeting date be moved to the first Wednesday of each month. The Planning Board discussed the issue and voted unanimously to amend their Rules of Procedure to affect the change in the meeting date. However, an amendment to the Rules of Procedure must be approved by the Board of Commissioners. Please note: The same process for amending rules of procedure applies to the Historic Preservation Commission, except that the Board of Commissioners' approval is not required. RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends amending the Planning Board's Rules of Procedure to change the regular monthly meeting date to the first Wednesday of the month.
