Planning Commission elects Steve Hall chair and Pete Raynor vice chair for 2025
Summary
At its first meeting of 2025 the Spokane County Planning Commission nominated and elected Steve Hall as chair and Pete Raynor as vice chair by voice vote; commissioners also set public‑engagement dates for placemaking workshops.
The Spokane County Planning Commission held officer elections at its first meeting of 2025 and selected Steve Hall as chair and Pete Raynor as vice chair by voice vote.
Following roll call and introductions, a commissioner nominated Steve Hall for chair and a second was recorded. The commission moved to a voice vote; commissioners responded “aye” and the chair announced the ayes had it. The gavel was passed and the new chair conducted the subsequent vice‑chair election. Commissioners then nominated Pete Raynor for vice chair; after a voice vote the commission recorded his election.
Why it matters: The commission will lead a year of public workshops and policy work tied to the 2026 comprehensive plan update. The newly elected officers will preside over charrettes, EIS scoping and other items the staff identified as priorities.
Other procedural business
- The commission opened a public comment period and received no registered speakers for the open forum. - Minutes for a prior meeting were not approved and were carried forward to the next meeting. - The commission adjourned at the conclusion of the scheduled agenda.
Ending
The commission’s officers and staff asked commissioners to sign up for charrettes and noted that staff will circulate RSVPs and quorum notices for in‑person workshops.
