Monongalia County Commission removes district appointment requirement for Planning Commission in first reading
Summary
On first reading April 30 the commission approved removing the ordinance sentence that required one planning member be appointed from each planning district; second reading and public hearing will be May 14.
The Monongalia County Commission on April 30 approved the first reading of an amendment to the county ordinance that creates the Monongalia County Planning Commission, removing a sentence that required “one planning member shall be appointed from each planning district.”
The chair explained the amendment’s scope: the only change is removal of that single sentence describing district‑based appointments. The published notice schedule was confirmed in the record, with notices to run on the 30th and the 9th; the second reading and public hearing are scheduled for May 14.
Commissioners said they have received a large number of applications for the Planning Commission and that removing the district appointment requirement will increase opportunities to serve. The commission voted to approve the first reading and set the public hearing and second reading dates.
No roll‑call vote tally was recorded in the meeting transcript; the agenda shows the matter advanced to the required second reading and public hearing before final adoption.
The ordinance text as suggested is on file with the county clerk and will be available for review before the May 14 hearing.
