Fort Walton Beach Council agenda — 03-13-2007 regular agenda — reading text

according Statute staff is supposed to present and be a consultant to the Board, and straighten out the issues at a pUblic hearing and it should not leave the chamber until in they are consensus. He said the Statute does not say that the staff presents a recommendation, it says the Board. The City Attorney stated her opinion is that what the Board is doing is making recommendations regarding planning issues. She said there has never been a discrepancy on quasi-judicial issues because the Board is either accepting the recommendation of staff or they formulate a consensus on the recommendation before it goes to Council; so in quasi-judicial issues there is not an open forum. She said on planning issues they win not hear her say that Council should not hear every recommendation that is possible because that is their job. She noted another underlying policy decision is whether or not designating a secretary from the CDS Department is the same as the staff following in and being the Board' s voice in front of the Council, and she has not heard of anyone else dealing with that issue. Mr. Mitchell stated that staff is the technical advtsors to the Council as well as the Board.  CITY COUNCIL MEETING March 13, 2007 Quasi- Judicial Agenda Consideration of a request for Final Plat Approval for Crewilla III Subdivision, located at 240 Crewilla Drive NW CDS Director) Municipal Planning Board Recommendation: Approval (6-0) (3/ 1/ 07) Council Action 1st 2nd Vote: Agenda Item Number: QJ- 6  CITY COUNCIL MARCH 13, 2007 SUBMITTAL FOR PUBLIC RECORD STAFF REPORT MPB CASE# 07 -6- FP FINAL PLAT APPROVAL CREWILLA III SUBDIVISION 240 CREWILLA DRIVE NW  CITY OF FORT WALTON BEACH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM Date: March .2, 2007 To: Joyce Shanahan, City_M~~ager ..
