Las Vegas City Commission Minutes, December 8, 1959 to February 17, 1960, lvc000012-11

In a general discussion as to how this member could be added to an already fully staffed Planning Commission, Mr. Kennedy said he was of the opinion that the law itself should be changed at the earliest date possible - it now says the City Manager shall be a member of the Planning Commission by virtue of the fact that he is the City Manager. Commissioner Whipple suggested that then the State Legislature meets in 1960 a change in the law be made. Mr. Kennedy stated he felt that one of the things that would help them as much as anything would be the exchange of agendas so that all Commissions, Committees and Boards would be advised in advance of what discussions were to take place - "it would help all of us." Following a further general discussion Mr. Bailey thanked the members present and the meeting was adjourned at 9:05 P.M.
