Columbia County appoints Jamie Lester to Planning Commission; accepts letter of credit for Coyote Creek
Summary
The Board appointed Jamie Lester to fill a Planning Commission vacancy and accepted a draft letter of credit guaranteeing private-road construction at Coyote Creek Country Club, contingent on final documentation. Both items passed by voice vote on April 15, 2025.
Columbia County commissioners approved two routine land-use actions on April 15: the appointment of Jamie Lester to the Planning Commission and acceptance of a draft letter of credit for the Coyote Creek Country Club final plat.
Commissioner (unnamed) moved to appoint Jamie Lester to the Planning Commission to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of James Vanmeter, whose term expires Dec. 31, 2025; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. No additional conditions were stated in the motion.
Separately, the board accepted a draft letter of credit for infrastructure improvements at the Coyote Creek Country Club final plat, contingent on staff receiving the actual letter of credit. County staff said the development involves private roads and no county water or sewer; Columbia County code requires a letter of credit before final plat approval to guarantee road construction. The board approved acceptance of the draft and instructed staff to sign off once the final letter of credit is received.
Both motions were made and carried by voice/hand; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the public meeting transcript.
