Commission nominates three incumbent planning commissioners to restore staggered terms under TCA code
Summary
County presented a plan to bring planning-board terms into compliance with Tennessee Code Annotated, recommending reappointment of three incumbents to four-year terms and staggering future reappointments.
Polk County commissioners discussed and nominated three members to the county planning board to correct the board’s term staggering and align it with Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) requirements.
County staff said the planning board had been operating on a mix of two- and four-year reappointments and recommended reorganizing terms into three sets so members’ expirations do not all occur simultaneously, consistent with TCA. The presenter recommended reappointing Mike Twirley, Gary Silvers and Mark Bishop to four-year terms this cycle so the board would fall into the required staggered pattern. The presenter said the recommended appointees agreed to serve.
A motion to reappoint those three members was made and seconded on the record; the transcript records the motion and a second but does not include a roll-call tally or a final recorded vote in the excerpt.
Ending: The commission recorded nominations and a motion to reappoint the three planning-board members to four-year terms; a recorded final vote does not appear in the provided transcript excerpt.
