JAS 6 1987 BOOK 66 P,." <br />Commissioner Bowman asked if staff is saying that if two of <br />the seven members are absent and one must abstain because of a <br />conflict of interest that the quorum shall be four. <br />Chief Planner Shearer explained that the request of the <br />ordinance is to reduce the quorum from five members to four <br />members out of the seven. He felt in all other Boards the County <br />has where there is an odd number such as seven, four would be a <br />quorum. The Planning & Zoning Commission felt they should be <br />treated like the other Boards and requested that staff be <br />authorized to bring the proposed ordinance back. He continued <br />that there has not been a problem getting five members there, but <br />there have been occasions where it has been tight and there have <br />been occasions where there are conflicts of interest and someone <br />has to abstain. He stressed that it still will require three <br />votes to approve anything. <br />The Chairman asked if anyone wished to be heard. There were <br />none. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0) closed <br />the public hearing. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously adopted <br />Ordinance 87-2 amending the Zoning Code by reducing <br />the quorum required for the Planning & Zoning Com- <br />mission to four. <br />38 <br />
