City Attorney Discussion
Chairman Chusnrir requested the City Attorney address the following five questions.
1. What can and can't the board do if an applicant wants to discuss their application in advance of the
meeting separately with a board member? ff an application is not pending there is no ex parse issite.
If an application is pending you need to disclose any communication that you had with anyone,
yYhenever you are biased, you cannot vote.
2. What can and can't the board do if a future project that might come before HPB is brought up during
discussion? For example, when the board has a general discussion at the end of the meeting. Same
rule as above.
3. Are the board members allowed to have a public opinion? Yes, but you probably shouldn't be a
rneniber on the board. You should either be a board rneniber or a citizen advocate.
4. What can and can't the board discuss with a fellow board member in reference to HP13? Only at the
tneeting which the board secretary has posted the public meeting notice.
5. Is it correct that motions and questions to the applicant must pertain strictly to what the applicant is
requesting? May the board ask about landscaping etc.? The board can only ask questions that are
pertinent to the application that is being considered.
