New Busmeos: Mission Statement.
At the last meeting there was a discussion by the board regarding what the board's role is as a Planning
Board member and what the public perceives as the Planning Board's role. Noel would like the board to
write a mission statement. In the by-laws there is a hint of what the board's mission is but there is
nothing written as an actual statement. She brought several examples from other city's Planning boards
to review.
The board went over the examples and it was decided that this would be discussed more in depth at a
future meeting when a quorum is present.
Old Business: Planning Board Members
The board has had a difficult time getting a quorum together for its' regular monthly meeting. At this
time there are 3 open City spots and the member from the Conservation Corps that has been unable to
fulfill his commitment to the board due to owning a business. He plans to write a turn in his resignation.
Noel will look into whether an interim county position board member can be appointed to fulfill his
term.
Old Business: Community Needs.
Noel suggested putting together a community outreach program to get input from the community as to
what improvements or changes they would like to see in their neighborhoods.
Old Business: Subdivision Regulation Schedule.
Noel told the board the Subdivision Regulations will go up for discussion at the February 14, 2017
Council Workshop. If the City Council votes for recommendation it will then go on to the Yellowstone
County Commissioners for their review and approval/denial.
Miscellaneous: Next meeting date of March 2, 2017.
There will be a meeting on March 2, 2017.
