APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA Vice Chair Edgeton asked Staff if there were any changes to the agenda. Staff responded that representatives of the environmental high school had requested a continuance to the next meeting. Consequently, Items 6A and 8A should be removed from the agenda. Staff also noted that with only four members of the Commission present this evening, they may want to consider continuing the discussion items onto the meeting of August 17. This would entail removing Items 7A and 7B from the agenda.

MOTION Member Churchill moved, seconded by Member Cady, to approve the Consent Agenda. Member Blundetto raised a point of information concerning the location of the generator and whether a rooftop location would be possible. Rick Kelley responded that, given the size of the generator, unless the building's roof had originally been designed to carry such a heavy load, it would not be possible for a rooftop location. The location as proposed would be adequately screened by landscaping and should not impact the adjacent property. Vice Chair then called the question on the approval of the Consent Agenda.

Planning Commission Minutes August 3, 1994 Page 3 C. Ethics Law Vice Chair Edgeton stated that she requested this item be added to the agenda because she had been aware of much discussion concerning the application of this new State Law to volunteer commissions, such as the Planning Commission. Mike Dougherty of the City Attorney's Office stated that a memo concerning the application of this law had been prepared for the City Council Members, and that he would see that a copy of this memo was included in the next Planning Commission packet. He stated that the great difficulty of this law comes from the very loose definition of both the "interested party" and "city official' standards. He said that the Planning Commissioners are indeed subject to the provisions of this taw. Because the law is so broad and all encompassing, it is the City Attorney's office opinion that all persons associated with City Government "just say no" to any type of gift or favor that may be offered to them. He also stated that it is hoped that the State Legislature will revisit this law to clarify these issues at their next session. 9. ADJOURNMENT MOTION Member Churchill moved, seconded by Member Cady, to adjourn the meeting. The motion carried 4 - 0. The meeting adjourned at 7:17 p.m.
