Planning panel seeks help from city officials

ASHTABULA — City Council tackled the job of getting the city planning commission back on its feet at Monday night’s work session.

Council, city officials and two members of the planning commission discussed the situation for nearly an hour.

Talking points included:

n Problems getting a quorum at meetings;

n The need to appoint two more members;

n Rescheduling meetings, and

n Assigning someone to be responsible for the minutes.

“The planning commission is a very, very important board,” Clerk of Council LaVette Hennigan said, noting it’s vital to economic development of the city.

The minutes are not being transcribed in a timely fashion, she said.

Hennigan always seems to be involved in the board’s business — receiving phone calls, etc. — even though she shouldn’t have to be involved until the minutes come to her. She suggested she be responsible for the minutes for an annual stipend.

“I’m ready to take it on,” Hennigan said.

Council then discussed who performed the duties in the past. After more than 30 minutes of sometimes heated exchanges, City Solicitor Michael Franklin said it’s really up to the planning commission.

The planning commission should make a recommendation to council, not the other way around, he said.

Planning Commission secretary Chad Giangola said he is committed to his job and has been doing the minutes.

“The minutes are always done ... but not real timely,” he said. “We are doing our job.”
