Zoning Commission Retains Anthony Hood as Chair, Reappoints Vice Chair Miller

Anthony Hood, chair of the Zoning Commission, and Vice Chair Miller were reappointed to their leadership roles after the commission voted 4-0-1 during its virtual meeting.

The motion to retain Hood as chair and Miller as vice chair was made by Commissioner Imamura and seconded by Commissioner Wright; the roll call recorded votes in favor from Commissioners Imamura, Wright, Hood and Miller, with Commissioner Stidham recorded as absent.

The reappointments come at the start of the commission's agenda. Commissioner Imamura nominated Hood and Miller, saying Hood has "demonstrated a long history of steady leadership, having served over 25 years on the Zoning Commission," and praising Miller's steady presence and thoughtful deliberation. Commissioner Wright seconded the nomination.

Chair Anthony Hood thanked his colleagues and emphasized the commission's collegial approach: "we always try you know, we always get a better outcome. We may not always be on the same side, but we get a better outcome." Vice Chair Miller echoed those remarks, saying Hood's "experience and his community oriented outlook has really benefited the city for many years."

Staff recorded the vote as 4 to 0 to 1 in favor of retaining Hood and Miller in their leadership roles; the minus one reflected Commissioner Stidham's absence. The commission moved on to its agenda after the vote.

The appointments affect leadership for the commission's upcoming items and procedural oversight through the next scheduled meeting.
