MEETING
INFORMATION
TOWN OF MARAN A
MEETING DATE: December 5, 2006
AGENDA ITEM: J. 6
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2006-204: Relating to Administration; directing
and authorizing the Town Manager and staff to cancel public
hearings if the purpose for them becomes moot by reason of the
Governor's issuance of a proclamation concerning the canvass of
the November 7, 2006 election.
DISCUSSION
Town staff has set December 11 and December 12, 2006 public hearings before the Planning
Commission and the Town Council, respectively, for the purpose of enacting various land use
ordinances prior to the effective date of Proposition 207. By law, Proposition 207 will become
effective when Governor Napolitano issues a proclamation concerning the canvass of the No-
vember 7, 2006 election. As of this writing, the Secretary of State is scheduled to complete the
canvass of the November 7, 2006 election on December 4,2006, and the Governor's proclama-
tion can occur at any time thereafter. If the Governor issues the proclamation on or before De-
cember 12, 2006, the proposed land use ordinances set for public hearing on December 11 and
December 12 will become moot.
This item will simply allow the Town Manager and staff to cancel the December 11 and Decem-
ber 12 public hearings if they are mooted by the Governor's proclamation.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2006-204.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2006-204.
