The Kenmore Planning Commission on Jan. 7 handled routine organizational business and a few procedural actions before moving to docket briefings.
The commission approved the minutes of its Oct. 15, 2024 meeting “by unanimous consent” after staff noted that new commissioners could abstain if they wished. The minutes motion was moved and seconded (speakers not specified in the record) and the chair declared the minutes approved.
In annual officer elections, Commissioner Tracy Banasinski was nominated and seconded for chair and was elected by unanimous consent; Commissioner Dwight Thompson accepted a nomination and was elected vice chair by unanimous consent. Commissioner Van der Linde received public thanks and a small recognition for service as outgoing vice chair.

The motion to cancel was moved, seconded and approved by unanimous consent. The chair adjourned the meeting at approximately 9:07 p.m.
