3.D. Provide a recommendation to the City Council on amending City Code Chapter 2, Article 3, Section 2-301 to reflect state statute. 
Discussion:
City Administrator Tom Ourada informed the Committee that this code relates to Planning Commission membership. City ordinance prohibits city employees and elected officials from being a member, but state statute only prohibits elected officials from being a member. The amendment would simply change city code to match state statute, which would allow for a city employee, not an elected official, to be on the Planning Commission as an alternate member who would serve when a quorum is not met.

Recommend to the City Council to amend City Code Chapter 2, Article 3, Section 2-301 to reflect state statute. Carried with a motion by Kyle Frans and a second by Jack Oelschlager.
