The Decatur City Planning Commission, meeting at 4:30 p.m., approved the minutes from its December meeting, made the proof of publication for the meeting a matter of record, appointed Anne Raza as the commission attorney and retained the commission's current officers.

The commission approved the December minutes by voice vote. The commission also moved to make the proof of publication a matter of record; that motion passed by voice vote with ayes recorded and no opposed voices noted on the transcript.

Anne Raza was nominated and confirmed as the commission's attorney in an annual appointment. The board then held its election of officers for the coming year and voted to leave the slate unchanged: Barb Engel will continue as Plan Commission president, Tyler Solankham will continue as vice president, and Lisa will continue as recording secretary. The board voted by voice to keep the current officers; the motion was seconded and received ayes on the record.

A special-exception item listed on the agenda — described as a request by Melissa Broke for use of an I-T zoning area on Washington Street in Decatur — was mentioned under new business but did not receive substantive discussion during the meeting.

The commission adjourned following the organizational actions after a motion to adjourn was made and seconded and approved by voice vote.
