She emphasized that the Rules should be an aid to the Board’s <br />business and may be modified or streamlined as needed. The Board liked the idea of <br />separating out motions to modify findings, recommendations or conditions from the <br />overall motion acting on the project. The amendments could then be summarized prior <br />to the final vote on the issue, increasing clarity for all. <br /> <br />Ms. Etgen also emphasized the role of the Chairperson in guiding the flow of the <br />meeting. For example after a motion is made and seconded the Chair would recognize <br />each member to allow them to speak on the issue, starting with the person who made <br />the motion and alternating viewpoints if appropriate. The Chair would also restate the <br />motion before calling for a vote so that all are clear on the issue under consideration. <br /> <br />Staff proposed a field trip to observe a Seattle Design Review Board meeting on June 15, <br />2011. Both items on that agenda are mid-rise mixed-use buildings which are likely to <br />become a more common development type in the future. <br /> <br />AI <br />CTION TEMS <br />Staff will modify the motion template handout to include motions that amend the <br />. <br />findings, recommendations or conditions separately from the approve/deny motion <br /> <br />NG Page 1 of 2 03/31/2014 <br />C:\Users\ana-l\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\7IXUFMDY\5-26- <br />11Training_Minutes (3).doc <br /> <br />
