4. PUBLIC FORUM
None.
5. STAFF UPDATES
Staff updated the Commission on a recent e-mail to the Town Manager stating:
"At my advice, the PC opted on Saturday to stick with the timeline to hand off the amendments to the Board following the PC's hearing on 6/20.
If the Board does not hold a special meeting and vote to warn the amendments for hearing by June 22 (to allow time for official publication/notice on 6/29 in the Indy), the Interim Bylaws will expire on 6/30 prior to the new language's effective date. (The act of warning a hearing on the regulations and executing the required notifications makes the language effective.)
This timeline leaves zero room for delay or error. If Board has any concerns about this time constraint, they can choose to extend Interim Zoning again. Based on their regular meeting schedule, this means:
· Warning a Hearing to extend on 5/15
· Submission of Ad to Indy on 5/26
· Publication of Ad on 6/1
· Posting of all Notices by 6/4
· Hearing & Vote on 6/19 "
Staff also provided a short update on the All Hazards Mitigation Plan.
