Commission acknowledges resignation, outlines process to fill vacancy; reports council action on rezoning
Summary
Commissioners acknowledged the resignation of Commissioner Tom Beas, described the replacement process, and reported the city council denied a recent rezoning request while passing four ordinances the commission had forwarded.
The City of Ocean Shores Planning Commission on July 22 acknowledged the resignation of Commissioner Tom Beas and described the process to fill the vacancy: the position will be open for two city council meetings to allow time for applications, followed by interviews and a recommendation to the mayor; the mayor’s nominee will then go to the city council for ratification.
The commission also received an update that the city council denied the rezoning request the commission had previously reviewed and approved to deny; the commission’s prior recommendation was carried to council, which voted to deny. Commissioners noted the council had adopted four ordinances that had been forwarded from the commission.
No formal vote was required to accept the resignation; the chair read the notice and described the next steps for recruiting applicants and scheduling interviews. The commission did not name interim replacements and did not set specific application deadlines in the meeting record.
Next steps: the vacancy will be advertised and left open through two council meetings to accept applications; the commission will interview applicants and forward a recommendation to the mayor, who will present a nominee to the city council for ratification.
