In making the request for the item to be pulled, Commissioner Balch noted a concern that certain details of the Planning Commission's discussion regarding a tobacco retail license (TRL) program had not been fully reflected in the minutes, and, since this was an important component to the overall topic, suggested additional language may need to be added to provide further clarification and detail, as well as to clarify the motion that had been made, which he did not feel was accurately presented. Commissioners Allen and Brown concurred with Commissioner Balch, stating the importance of the minutes providing a clear representation of the discussion and the motion, especially for those who were not in attendance at the meeting. There was unanimous agreement among the Commission to request staff re-listen to the recording and amend the minutes to provide additional detail from the Planning Commission's discussion with respect to the TRL program and other items as needed, and to clarify the motion; and to continue the item to the next meeting.
