Town Code 2-5-2(A) - Council nomination and appointment to Planning Commission
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Conduct interviews for Planning Commission, make two appointments for three-year terms, make one appointment for a two-year term, and reappoint Richard Mahrle to a three-year term
Background
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
There are seven members of the Planning Commission who serve staggered three-year terms. Previously, terms of office expired in October. Following the switch to fall elections for Town Council, Ordinance Number 2016-05 was adopted extending the terms of most committee, commission, and board members to April.
The terms for Richard Mahrle, Thomas Campbell, and Jeffrey Wincel expire this year. Mr. Mahrle has asked to be reappointed. Mr. Campbell and Mr. Wincel have declined reappointed. An additional vacancy was created by the election of Scott Moore to the Town Council.
The Town invited residents to submit applications to volunteer for various committee vacancies in January. Nine people applied to serve on the Planning Commission. Their application materials are attached for your consideration.
Interviews and appointments for the other committees and boards will take place on March 23, 2017. Some applicants for the Planning Commission also expressed interest in volunteering for other committees. Those who are not selected for Planning Commission will be considered for appointment to other committees but will not need to interview again.
