Planning commission shifts two meetings to Tuesdays for Nov.–Dec. 2025 after member request

The Grantsville Planning Commission voted to change the regular meeting dates for November and December 2025 from the first and third Thursdays to the first and third Tuesdays. The change was proposed following a request from Commissioner Derek Dalton, who said Thursday night conflicts (high‑school athletics and other community events) sometimes reduce member availability.

Staff said the Tuesday option could provide planners additional time to prepare packets and to coordinate notices for city council in the same week. Commissioners agreed to a trial run for November and December 2025; the commission can revisit the schedule before adopting a permanent change.

The motion passed on a voice vote. Commissioners noted a test period would help gauge whether Tuesday meetings improve quorum rates and broaden participation among prospective commission applicants with evening commitments.

Why it matters: The scheduling change is an operational detail but may affect meeting attendance, staff deadlines for packet production and public participation opportunities for residents with Thursday evening conflicts.

Next steps: The commission will use the first- and third-Tuesday schedule for November and December 2025 and reassess either at the end of the trial or when preparing the annual calendar.
