5:34 pm
Present: Commissioners St. Clair, Johnson, Ramsey, German, Gorman, and Emory.
Absent: Commissioner Hood.
Approval of Minutes
Commissioner Ramsey moved, Vice Mayor German seconded, to approve the minutes of
March 24, 2021.
MOTION CARRIED.
Critical Dune Ordinance – Mayor Johnson
Mike Franzak, Planning Manager, explained the history of the Critical Dunes ordinance since
the city took control in 2019 in an effort to speed up review times for applicants and reduce
fees. The amount of staff time, fees, and audits by EGLE have not provided the time and cost
savings the City was hoping to see. Staff recommends the permitting process revert back to
EGLE.
Social Media – Commissioner Ramsey
Commissioner Ramsey questioned if the City should have comments on the live stream. The
Commission discussed it in length and indicated the public livestream can indicate it is not
being monitored. For all other postings, an email address should be shared for people to reach
out with comments/questions.
Federal and State Legislative Updates – Pete Wills
Pete Wills reviewed the latest State/Federal bills that may impact the City.
Adjournment
Motion by Commissioner Ramsey, seconded by Commissioner St. Clair to adjourn the
meeting at 6:50 pm.
MOTION CARRIED.
