Commissioner Economos asked whether applicants to the city's Planning and Zoning board must live in Daytona Beach Shores and whether business owners who do not reside in the city are eligible to serve.
The question arose during a conversation about recruitment for a P&Z vacancy. A commissioner said the P&Z currently includes two members who own businesses in the city and that one of those is an alternate who does not live in Daytona Beach Shores. Colleagues suggested that prospective applicants contact the City Clerk so staff can verify residency and collect the information needed for an agenda item.
One commissioner offered to call potential applicants and noted they could be reached after 5 p.m. if preferred. Another commissioner replied that routing inquiries through the City Clerk would centralize coordination, allow staff to verify residency, and ensure the city has contact information for the agenda packet.
No ordinance change, motion, or vote was recorded on the topic during the meeting; commissioners discussed next steps for outreach and candidate verification.
