§ 47-30.4. Meetings and procedures.

A.

The regular meeting of the board shall be held on the third Wednesday of each month at city hall so long as the board has business to conduct, except when:

1.

this day is a legal holiday observed by the city; or

2.

the regular meeting is rescheduled on an intermittent basis to a date and time as may be designated by the board and announced at the regularly scheduled meeting immediately preceding the rescheduled meeting, or

3.

is canceled by the chairperson or zoning administrator because of emergency.

If the regularly scheduled meeting falls on a legal holiday observed by the city, that meeting shall be held on the following day. In addition to the regularly scheduled or re-scheduled meeting date(s), the board may meet at such other times as agreed upon during the regularly scheduled monthly meeting. In addition to the regularly scheduled or re-scheduled meetings, the chairperson may designate special meetings at other times after ten (10) days' advance notice to the members. Nothing herein with regard to regularly scheduled, re-scheduled or special meetings of the board shall be deemed a waiver of the notice procedures set forth in Section 47-27 hereof.

In the computation of any time period involved in planning and zoning board proceedings, the day of the act, event or default from which the designated period of time begins to run shall not be included. The last day of the period so computed shall be included unless it is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday recognized pursuant to Florida Statutes Chapter 683 or the city, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday nor legal holiday. When the period of time prescribed or allowed is less than seven (7) days, the intermediate Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays shall be excluded in the computation.

B.

The planning and zoning board shall elect from its members a chairperson and a vice-chairperson at an annual election held in June of each year who shall serve for terms of one (1) year and who shall be eligible for reelection.
