The Santa Fe Planning Commission convened on September 18, 2025, for a formal meeting that emphasized community engagement and procedural transparency. The meeting began with a call to order and the Pledge of Allegiance, setting a respectful tone for the discussions ahead.

Commissioners present included Barber, McReynolds, Whelan, Smith, Miranda, and Caban, with McGee excused. The agenda was approved unanimously, indicating a smooth start to the proceedings. The approval of the consent agenda was briefly discussed, although it was noted that there was no consent agenda to approve this time.

The meeting's structure and the commissioners' commitment to following formal procedures reflect a dedication to maintaining order and clarity in local governance. While the initial discussions were procedural, they set the stage for future meetings where community concerns and planning issues will be addressed.

As the Planning Commission continues its work, residents can expect future discussions to focus on key topics that impact daily life in Santa Fe, including land use, housing, and community development. The commission's efforts to engage with the public and ensure transparency will be crucial as they navigate these important issues in the coming months.
