Planning and Zoning Commission elects new chair and vice chair

The Highlands Planning and Zoning Commission elected Spencer Wilt as chair and Umair Tamir as vice chair at the start of its Oct. 21, 2025, meeting.

The action established the Commission’s leadership after the previous chair left the body. During the opening roll call, commissioners nominated Spencer Wilt for chair and Umair Tamir for vice chair; an alternate, Aaron, seconded the nomination. Chair and vice chair appointments were confirmed when members indicated “aye” on the record.

The nomination process was conducted during the meeting’s call to order and preceded regular agenda items. Commissioners and alternates present introduced themselves before nominations were opened. The commission then proceeded with its agenda, including site-plan and plat reviews.

The commission did not record a roll-call tally by name in the transcript; the body indicated the motion passed by members saying “aye.” The meeting moved immediately to the next agenda item following the leadership change.

The leadership change is administrative and will govern how the commission conducts future meetings and hearings until the next internal election or change in membership.
