Commission recommends Joel Smith for Planning and Zoning vacancy
Summary
The Roswell Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend Joel Smith for appointment to a vacant commissioner seat; the recommendation proceeds to city council with mayoral approval per staff guidance.
The Roswell Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend Joel Smith to fill a vacancy on the commission and will forward that recommendation to the city council for appointment with the mayor’s approval.
Planning staff introduced an application from Joel Smith and invited him to introduce himself. Smith said he is a lifelong Roswell resident who attended Goddard High School and New Mexico State University, and that he operates a small structural consulting engineering business. Smith said acquaintances on the commission encouraged him to apply.
Staff told the commission no formal action by the commission was required but commissioners could make a recommendation. A commissioner moved that the commission recommend Joel Smith to fill the vacancy; Commissioner Lessard seconded and the motion passed on a voice vote. Commissioners praised Smith’s willingness to serve and his engineering background. Staff said the appointment moves next to the full city council and requires mayoral approval. The commission noted the position is unpaid.
