Sec. 2-4-100. Practice before boards and commissions.
(a) Members of certain boards and commissions are necessarily required to be recruited from certain professions. In a small town such as Telluride, these professionals may need to occasionally practice before such boards or commissions for their professional livelihood. Recognizing that such recruitment could be impaired by the imposition of strict anti-influence rules, the Town Council intends to provide certain exemptions as set forth below.
(b) Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission, Historic and Architectural Review Commission and Board of Adjustment/Appeals who are recruited from the planning, design, architectural or engineering professions shall be permitted to present development applications to such commission or board, as a consultant to or employee of an applicant, provided that:
(1) Full disclosure of the consultant or employee relationship is made to the board or commission;
(2) The affected board or commission does not object to such presentation;
(3) The consultant or employee compensation is not contingent upon the outcome of the presentation or upon board or commission action; and
(4) No more than four (4) separate development applications are presented by any member in any one (1) calendar year, or in any year during the official’s term of office. This restriction shall only pertain to development applications classified as Large Scale Activities. (Prior code 4.18.110; Ord. 1410, 2014)
