Subject:. Planning Commission Recommendation:
Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission Metro Plan and Public Facilities
Services Plan Amendments (file MA 04-1)
After the Planning Commission's May 24, 2004 ~ote to recommend approval of the ptoposed Metro Plan
and PFSP amendments, it was discovered that, at the time of the actual vote, a quorum was no longer
present in the room. When subsequently inform~d of this error, the Planning Commission revisited the
topic at its June 14,2004 meeting. They had all been provided the response to comments available at the
previous meeting and draft minutes of the May 24, 2004 meeting.
On June 14,2004, with a legal quorum present, the Planning Commission voted 5:0 to recommend to the
City Council approval of the proposed amendments to the Metro plan to include the wastewater elements
in Chapter G and the Glossary for Defmitions. The Commission also voted 5:0 to recommend to the city
Council the amendments to the Public Facilities Services Plan, including the amendment process.
