Commission appoints Wayne Jackson to planning and zoning, adds non‑voting alternate seat following ordinance amendment
Summary
The commission filled a vacancy on the county planning and zoning commission by appointing Wayne Jackson as a full member and designated Shane Church as a non‑voting alternate; commissioners directed staff to initiate an ordinance amendment to add an alternate seat.
The Millard County Commission appointed Wayne Jackson to a vacant planning and zoning seat and named Shane Church as a designated non‑voting alternate during its Feb. 4 meeting. Commissioners also directed staff to begin an ordinance amendment to formally add an alternate, non‑voting seat to the planning and zoning commission roster.
Commissioners discussed representation across the county’s east and west sides and the value of having an alternate present at meetings to participate in discussion though not to vote unless a member is absent. The commission’s substitute motion appointed Wayne Jackson as the regular planning and zoning member and Shane Church as the alternate; commissioners also stated the intent to move forward with a short ordinance amendment and public‑hearing process to codify the alternate seat.
Commissioners said they expect the ordinance amendment and formal ratification to be heard at an upcoming meeting and that staff will schedule required public hearing steps. Commissioners and staff noted the alternative member will attend meetings and have a seat at the table but will vote only when substituting for an absent member.
Ending: Staff will prepare an ordinance amendment for public hearing and return to the commission for adoption and ratification.
