Gahanna Board of Zoning and Building Appeals reappoints Paul Bryson, elects Lauren Eisen chair and approves minutes
Summary
At its 2025 organizational meeting, the Gahanna Board of Zoning and Building Appeals administered an oath to Paul Bryson, elected Lauren Eisen chair, elected Bryson vice chair and approved minutes from a summer 2024 meeting.
The City of Gahanna Board of Zoning and Building Appeals at its 2025 organizational meeting administered the oath to Paul Bryson upon his reappointment, elected Lauren Eisen chair and Paul Bryson vice chair for 2025, and approved the board’s meeting minutes from August 2024.
Mayor Laurie Chadwin (presiding for the organizational portion) administered the oath to Paul Bryson, who repeated the oath including “I, Paul Bryson, do solemnly swear … to which I have been appointed. So help me God.” The mayor noted Bryson’s reappointment to a new three-year term.
The board then elected officers. A board member nominated Lauren Eisen for chair; Eisen accepted. After a motion and second, the clerk called roll and recorded affirmative votes from members present; the motion passed and Eisen assumed the chair. Members then nominated and elected Paul Bryson as vice chair; a roll-call vote recorded unanimous support among members present.
The board took the final formal act of approving the minutes from its prior meeting in August 2024 (recorded in the file as item 2025-00007). During the minutes approval there was a brief transcript inconsistency over the exact date abbreviation (speakers referenced both Aug. 13, 2024 and Aug. 14, 2024); the board adopted the minutes without further discussion.
Ending: The board completed standard organizational business including administration of oaths, officer elections and approval of prior meeting minutes. No substantive zoning or permit appeals were heard or decided at this meeting.
