Votes at a glance: council reappoints Seashore forum reps, excuses member and extends planning commissioner term
Summary
At the Feb. 27 meeting the council reappointed two representatives to the Seashore Transportation Forum, excused a council member from the meeting and extended a planning commissioner's term for 12 months; all actions passed by voice vote or unanimous consent.
LAKE FOREST PARK, Wash. — The Lake Forest Park City Council took several routine but formal actions Thursday, approving appointments, an excusal and an extension of a planning commissioner’s term.
Reappointments to regional transportation forum
Council members reappointed Councilmember (and Seashore co-chair) Councilmember Goldman and Mayor Tom French as the city's two representatives on the Seashore Transportation Forum. The council approved the appointments by voice vote after a motion to reappoint both representatives. The meeting record shows the motion was seconded and carried; no roll-call tally was recorded in the minutes.
Excusal of a council member
The council moved and approved excusing Councilmember Ellen Saunders from the meeting. The motion was seconded and adopted by voice vote.
Extension of planning commissioner term
The council voted to extend the term of Planning Commissioner David Queleno for 12 months, through February 2026, citing the commissioner's ongoing service during a period of significant work on middle-housing code and the climate policy advisory team. The council noted that extending volunteer commissioners' terms to preserve institutional knowledge is a recurring practice during critical work cycles. The motion to extend the term — and a later amendment specifying the 12-month length — was adopted by vote.
All items in this roundup were procedural and carried without recorded dissent in the meeting transcript.
