Corporation Counsel because we felt that maybe a neutral body might be better, but <br />• that idea was not bought. But that's also something that, maybe, we need to take a <br />look at, if you go for this consolidation. And we have provided you with some possible <br />amendments. <br />RAY: Okay. Are there any questions on that? Mr. Balog. <br />BALOG: Would there be any duties the Board of Appeals would have to <br />perform, if they were transferred to Public Works, for either the Planning <br />Commission or Planning Department? <br />GOLDSTEIN: I don't think so. <br />BALOG: Secondly, it was brought up when I was serving on the Planning <br />Commission, that there was no liaison Board for Public Works to review <br />implementations of rules and whatnot, so this Board could serve also as the Board for <br />their rules and procedures, yes? <br />GOLDSTEIN: I'm not sure I follow you. If you're suggesting that maybe this <br />Board be the one, if it goes over to Public Works, to adopt its Rules of Procedure over <br />different functions, 1 think it might have to do that, but 1 think Department of Public <br />Works still has to adopt its own Rules of Procedures. <br />BALOG: Yes, but they could adopt their own? <br />GOLDSTEIN: Yes. <br />BALOG: So the Board of Appeals wouldn't have nothing left to do with <br />Planning Department if your first proposal, as you're proposing, when through, and <br />they were transferred over? <br />GOLDSTEIN: I think so. I'm pretty sure so. <br />RAY: Is the Board of Appeals aware of this proposal? <br />GOLDSTEIN: No. <br />RAY: We've gotten some input from the Board of Appeals. There's a <br />July 96th letter, that you've all got, that's addressing a different issue. It's filling the <br />vacancies. But 1 just wondered because I don't like to catch people totally unaware. <br />GOLDSTEIN: And staff over there who serves the Board of Appeals may be <br />caught unaware, so if you want to ask him for his reaction, that's fine. <br />19 <br />
