MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON APRIL 8, 1996 • ( 412 - Volunteer Commission Appointments - Continued) Callahan said the majority of the information is requested from the applicants prior to the Planning Commission. Mabusth said delays occur due to information not being provided, new questions raised, or calls from residents concerning an application. Callahan noted the need to adhere to the 60 -day ruling. He did not feel there was a need to change the number of meetings as long as Staff is on top of the situation. Callahan asked for a Staff report on the pros and cons of two meetings a month. He said he was reluctant to approve such a request as a practical matter. Moorse responded that all meetings require notifications. Moorse suggested one meeting for referrals back to the Commission only to eliminate the need for two sets of notices. Mabusth said times are set aside for two meetings in the summer months. Jabbour said he feels January through April are key months for planning. Goetten said the months prior to winter are also busy times.
