Commissioners note resignation email from longtime member Wayne; plans for recognition discussed
Summary
Commissioners said a planning commissioner named Wayne submitted an email asking the city to accept his resignation. Commissioners thanked Wayne for long service and discussed possible recognition; the transcript does not record an immediate effective date or a formal replacement process.
Commissioners at the Sept. 2 meeting said they had received an email from a longtime planning commission member, Wayne, asking that the city accept his resignation. Members praised Wayne’s years of service and discussed arranging a letter or a recognition by the City Commission.
Speakers said Wayne served multiple terms on the planning commission — roughly 15 to 16 years on the planning commission alone, and earlier service on other city boards — and had served as chair for a period. Commissioners described him as in his early‑ to mid‑80s and said he had told fellow commissioners previously he was considering stepping down.
One commissioner said Wayne’s email to the clerk’s office read, “please accept this as my resignation.” Commissioners discussed whether the resignation was immediate; the transcript records no formal vote or administrative action to confirm the seat’s vacancy during the meeting. Several commissioners said they hoped the City Commission would formally recognize Wayne’s long service.
No formal action to fill the vacancy was taken at the meeting; the transcript records expressions of thanks and a motion to adjourn following that exchange.
