Planning commission names Joshua Schroeder to replace outgoing commissioner Brent Berg
Summary
The Planning Commission accepted the resignation of Brent Berg and appointed Joshua Schroeder (Barnesville planning commissioner and structural engineer) to fill the vacant seat by voice vote.
The Clay County Planning Commission accepted a resignation and approved a replacement at the meeting.
Brent Berg announced he will step down from the Planning Commission, citing family commitments and the time required for his children’s activities. Berg said, “I’ve enjoyed being on the board. And honestly, the only reason I’m backing down is I've got 2 teenage kids and I just was adding it up ... just too, too busy.” The commission thanked him for his service.
Barnesville planning commissioner Joshua Schroeder introduced himself to the county commission. He told members he has served three years on the Barnesville planning and zoning committee, holds a degree from North Dakota State University and works as a structural engineer focusing on bridges. Schroeder said he and his family have lived in Barnesville since 2007 and that his schedule should allow him to participate in county meetings.
Commissioner Ashley moved to nominate Schroeder to the county Planning Commission; Commissioner Sebastian seconded. The commission approved Schroeder’s nomination by voice vote.
Why it matters: The appointment fills a vacancy on the county Planning Commission and adds a candidate with municipal planning experience and engineering expertise; commissioners said Schroeder’s background will be useful on technical and development items.
