Once comment has been received and questions answered, the Planning Commission then takes a vote on the project under consideration. Their vote is recorded and then forwarded to the City Council. While the City Council has the ultimate vote on a project, the recommendations of the Planning Commission are taken seriously and considered when a final vote is taken.

Annually, the commission is responsible for preparing and recommending a budget on park development and redevelopment projects to the City Council, as well as park policies.
Commissioners serve two-year terms, with a limit of three consecutive terms.
This is a three-member board charged with the supervision of the employment, promotion, etc. With City staff, the Commission develops testing and evaluation procedures for recruitment and selection of officers to create an eligibility roster. Once a list of eligible applicants has been created through a testing and interview process, the Commission certifies a list of the top three applicants to the Mayor. The Mayor then appoints one of the three certified applicants to a position. This eligibility roster remains in effect for up to two years, or until there are no longer three qualified applicants from which to certify to the Mayor for appointment.
