In the case of such requests, the Planning Commission <br />hears the citizens ’ cases and makes a recommendation to the City Council. That <br />recommendation must be a careful and thoughtful review of each situation to save the City <br />Council from the burden of rehearing every case. In this role, the Planning Commission <br />members act as administrative judges making recommendations on individual cases. <br />The Planning Conunission must also work in an effective and well-informed <br />manner with neighboring communities and other government agencies to assist the City Council <br />and the Mayor in reviewing and implementing inter-community projects. Again, the requests <br />and demands of other government authorities need careful and thoughtful review. The Planning <br />Commission must also act as a source of creative ideas in the event that proposed actions of the <br />other agencies do not meet with the approval of our City Council members. In this role, the <br />Planning Commission acts as a diplomatic liaison to other governments entities. <br />Other Comments: <br />I believe I can contribute to the well-planned growth of our city as a member of <br />the Orono City Planning Commission. I believe that attendance at the Planning Commission <br />Meetings and working sessions should be a high priority for ail members. My job is flexible <br />enough to allow me to attend meetings at a variety of times and places. My experience with <br />technology and the law provide me with unique skills which are needed on the Planning <br />Commission. <br />Addendum to the application of Daniel J. Kluth to the City of Orono for the Planning Commission
