The Dalles Planning Commission convened on December 5, 2024, to address several administrative matters, including the approval of meeting minutes and public comments.

The meeting began with a motion to approve the minutes from the August 15 meeting, which was seconded and unanimously accepted, despite one member needing to abstain due to absence. The commission then moved on to the minutes from the November 7 meeting. After a brief discussion, it was noted that one commissioner was incorrectly marked as present during that meeting. To rectify this, a motion was made to reapprove the November 7 minutes with the necessary amendment. This motion was also seconded and passed with unanimous support.

Following the approval of the minutes, the commission opened the floor for public comments. Attendees were invited to speak on any topic not listed on the agenda, with a limit of five minutes per person.

The meeting highlighted the commission's commitment to maintaining accurate records and facilitating community engagement through public commentary. Further discussions and decisions are expected in future meetings as the commission continues its work in The Dalles.
