Dickinson Commission approves Matthew Rothstein for Planning and Zoning Board

The Dickinson City Commission meeting on March 18, 2025, focused on several key administrative decisions, including the appointment of a new member to the planning and zoning board and the acquisition of parcels from Stark County.

The meeting commenced with all commissioners present, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. The order of business was approved without changes, and the consent agenda was also passed unanimously.

A significant topic of discussion was the appointment of Matthew Rothstein to the planning and zoning board. City Planner Natalie Bircek and other committee members interviewed two candidates before selecting Rothstein. The commission approved his appointment without any questions or objections.

Additionally, the commission addressed the acquisition of six parcels from Stark County. These properties, which had been delinquent and returned to the county, are being offered back to the city at a reduced rate. The city’s development team has reviewed the parcels, and Public Works is currently maintaining most of them.

The meeting concluded with both major items receiving unanimous support from the commissioners, reflecting a collaborative effort to enhance city governance and community development.
