Planning commission reelects current chair and vice chair; reappoints Commissioner Bill Davis to parks post
Summary
The Coos Bay Planning Commission voted to keep its current chair and vice chair for another year and to reappoint Commissioner Bill Davis as the commission’s representative to the Parks Commission. Both motions passed by a voice vote; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
The Coos Bay Planning Commission voted to retain its current chair and vice chair and to reappoint Commissioner Bill Davis as the Planning Commission’s representative to the Parks Commission during its meeting (date not specified).
Staff cited Coos Bay Municipal Code Chapter 2.235, which directs the commission to elect a chair and vice chair at its first meeting of each year. "I move that we have this same chair and vice chair as we have now for the next year," said a commissioner. Another commissioner said, "I'll second that. Let's let it ride." The motion passed on a voice vote; meeting audio records multiple "Aye" responses and no recorded opposition.
On a separate motion, staff recommended reappointing Commissioner Bill Davis to continue representing the Planning Commission on the Parks Commission. Staff said Davis "was reappointed on December fifteenth of 2020" and indicated he was interested in continuing to serve. The staff speaker proposed reappointing Davis for a term mentioned during the meeting; the transcript did not provide a clear, unambiguous expiration date for that term. Commissioners moved and seconded the reappointment, and the motion passed on a voice vote.
Both motions were conducted by motion and voice vote; the transcript does not show a formal roll-call tally or record individual yes/no votes.
The chair and vice chair elections determine which commissioners will preside over Planning Commission meetings and set meeting procedures; the Parks Commission appointment maintains an ongoing liaison between planning and parks work. The commission did not record additional direction tied to either motion.
