MeetingMay 19, 2026

Policy & Procedures Committee — May 19, 2026

Metro Council keeps asking for code changes, and the required stop at the planning committee slows them down. The change lets the planning director send straightforward amendments straight to the Planning Commission, with public comment still available there.

We'll email you when it's on an upcoming agenda and when it's voted on, at most once a day.
