P R O C E E D I N G S:
CHAIR HANSSEN: Normally we would go through our
meeting process but we've been informed that the public has
not been able to access the link to attend the meeting, and
so we need to make a continuance of the meeting and I'm
asking Staff do we need to vote on that or how…
TOWN ATTORNEY SCHULTZ: Yes, there would be a
motion to continue the meeting to a date certain. I think
Mr. Paulson has recommended next Wednesday the 30th, but I
understand that is also the date of when there's a
candidate forum and so it's up to the Planning Commission
as to which date you want to continue these items to.
JOEL PAULSON: Alternatively, thank you, through
the Chair, potentially given we have a workshop on Tuesday
and General Plan Advisory Committee on Thursday, possibly
Monday if that works for the Planning Commission, and we
can get the agenda reposted before the weekend so that link
is corrected and we can move forward if that works for the
Town Attorney as well as the Commission.
CHAIR HANSSEN: Okay. Without hearing from the
other Commissioners we know that two of our Commissioners
are running for Town Council and so I'm sure that Wednesday

won't be great, and then we would be down to four
Commissioners because for Item 2 Commissioner Burch is
recused due to proximity to the location, so I would
recommend another date. So, you're suggesting Monday the…
TOWN ATTORNEY SCHULTZ: For clarification
purposes, is that candidate forum all of the candidates or
only certainly ones are on that Wednesday night?
CHAIR HANSSEN: Could Commissioner Hudes or
Badame answer that? Commissioner Badame, could you answer
the Town Attorney's question?
COMMISSIONER HUDES: I can answer.
CHAIR HANSSEN: Or Commissioner Hudes, either
one.
COMMISSIONER HUDES: It is all of the candidates.
TOWN ATTORNEY SCHULTZ: Oh, okay, then yes, then
obviously that night didn't work, so okay, it's either the
Monday or the following Wednesday. Like I said, there's
five, so the following Wednesday is the…
JOEL PAULSON: The 7th.
TOWN ATTORNEY SCHULTZ: …7th.
CHAIR HANSSEN: Okay. I would like to hear from
the Commissioners what date they prefer, and then we have
to make a motion as what the date certain is. So,

Commissioner Badame, do you have a preference? I don't know
if she's hearing me. Okay, how about Vice Chair Janoff?
VICE CHAIR JANOFF: Either date works for me.
CHAIR HANSSEN: Okay. Commissioner Tavana.
COMMISSIONER TAVANA: I'd have to say Monday
would work the best for myself.
CHAIR HANSSEN: Versus the 7th, okay.
COMMISSIONER TAVANA: Yes.
CHAIR HANSSEN: Commissioner Barnett.
COMMISSIONER BARNETT: Either day. Isn't the 7th
Labor Day?
TOWN ATTORNEY SCHULTZ: That was September 7th.
CHAIR HANSSEN: Yeah, it was September 7th.
Commissioner Burch. Commissioner Burch, even though you're
recused for Item 2 we have to do Item 3 as well, so is
either date okay with you?
COMMISSIONER BURCH: Yes, yes, they should work
fine for me.
CHAIR HANSSEN: Okay, and Commissioner Hudes.
COMMISSIONER HUDES: I prefer the 7th.
CHAIR HANSSEN: Okay, so we've got pretty much…
and I'm okay with either day, so would someone want to make
a motion for one date or the other?

VICE CHAIR JANOFF: We haven't heard from
Commissioner Badame.
CHAIR HANSSEN: Oh, that's right, okay.
Commissioner Badame, can you hear us? No, she doesn't seem
to be…
JOEL PAULSON: Sounds like she might be having
audio trouble. Her mike is on.
TOWN ATTORNEY SCHULTZ: But she doesn't even hear
us.
CHAIR HANSSEN: Right. Commissioner Badame, can
you hear us? I don't think she can hear us. Okay, so with
that being said I think we need to go ahead and make a
motion, or should we… I don't think we can…
JOEL PAULSON: Someone should make a motion for a
date and then we'll move forward from there.
CHAIR HANSSEN: Okay. So, would one of the
Commissioners make a motion for one date or the other? Vice
Chair Janoff.
VICE CHAIR JANOFF: Yes, I'll move to continue
tonight's agenda to a date certain of Monday the… Please
give me the date.
JOEL PAULSON: September 28th.
VICE CHAIR JANOFF: Monday, September 28th.

CHAIR HANSSEN: Would someone be seconding?
Commissioner Tavana.
COMMISSIONER TAVANA: I'll second that.
CHAIR HANSSEN: So, we have a few Commissioners
that prefer…at least one Commissioner that prefers the 7th
but it sounds like pretty much everyone can make it on
Monday, so I will go ahead and take the roll call vote and
I'll start with Commissioner Burch.
COMMISSIONER BURCH: Yes.
CHAIR HANSSEN: And Commissioner Tavana.
COMMISSIONER TAVANA: Yes.
CHAIR HANSSEN: And I would ask Commissioner
Badame but I… Can you hear us yet, Commissioner Badame?
COMMISSIONER BURCH: She can't.
CHAIR HANSSEN: All right, so she can't, so we'll
just have to go without her vote.
COMMISSIONER BURCH: How do I get on?
TOWN ATTORNEY SCHULTZ: I don't know.
COMMISSIONER BURCH: Hang on, I'll tell her.
COMMISSIONER BADAME: Okay, I'm going to maybe
just check out and maybe get back in. I don't know how to
do this.
JOEL PAULSON: We can hear you now, Commissioner…
COMMISSIONER BURCH: She can't…

COMMISSIONER BURCH: No, she cannot hear us.
CHAIR HANSSEN: Okay, but we can hear her.
COMMISSIONER BURCH: Right. If we're able to go
ahead and mute her, we should. However, she did just say
Monday the 28th does work for her.
CHAIR HANSSEN: Oh, she did. Okay, I missed that.
Thank you. All right, so I'll consider that her vote for
the 28th. And then Commissioner Barnett.
COMMISSIONER BARNETT: Yes, I'm in favor of the
motion.
CHAIR HANSSEN: And Commissioner Hudes.
COMMISSIONER HUDES: Yes.
CHAIR HANSSEN: And Vice Chair Janoff.
VICE CHAIR JANOFF: Yes.
CHAIR HANSSEN: And then I vote yes as well, so
it passes unanimously, so we will be continuing this entire
meeting to Monday the 28th. I thank everyone for reading all
the materials and being prepared and we will continue this
meeting on Monday and we should be able to have members of
the public in attendance as well. With that, I will say
everyone have a good night and this meeting is adjourned.
