Troutdale planning commissioners appoint Shirley Prickett to Town Center Advisory Board in 3-2 vote
Summary
The Troutdale Planning Commission voted 3-2 on June 25 to appoint Shirley Prickett as the commission’s representative to the Town Center Advisory Board for a one-year term beginning July 1.
The Troutdale Planning Commission on Wednesday appointed Shirley Prickett as its representative to the Town Center Advisory Board for the term July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, after a roll-call vote that split 3-2.
The vote followed nominations from the commission and a brief exchange about whether Prickett had previously indicated she would accept the assignment. The outcome gives the Town Center Advisory Board a Planning Commission representative before the July 1 start of the new term.
Chair: “Nominations are closed,” the chair said after commissioners moved and seconded a motion to end nominations. The commission took nominations in the order presented and then held a roll-call vote.
Roll-call votes recorded during the meeting showed Commissioners Paul Wilcox and [Commissioner] Minkoff voting no; Shirley Prickett, Commissioner Allen and the chair voting yes. The motion carried, and Prickett was appointed to the Town Center Advisory Board for the July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026 term.
During discussion after the vote, a commissioner said they had interpreted a prior meeting statement as indicating Prickett would accept the position only if no one else volunteered; Prickett said she did not recall making that statement at the prior meeting. Commissioners debated the interpretation briefly before proceeding to staff communications.
This item was processed during the commission’s regular meeting on June 25, 2025. The appointment fills the commission’s representative role on the Town Center Advisory Board while the commission’s membership temporarily remains at five members; one commissioner noted the commission expects to return to seven members within days.
No formal appeals, amendments or other actions were recorded during the appointment vote. The nomination and final roll call are part of the official meeting record; the commission did not direct staff to take further action on the appointment.
Looking ahead, the new representative will serve through June 30, 2026, and will represent the Planning Commission on matters referred to the Town Center Advisory Board. The commission adjourned after completing staff communications and other routine items.
