Planning Commission elects Michael LeGrand chair, Sarah Schacht vice chair
Summary
At a special meeting April 16, the Big Bear City Planning Commission elected Michael LeGrand as chair by a 3-1 vote and Sarah Schacht as vice chair by unanimous vote, completing a short reorganization amid upcoming member reappointments.
The Big Bear City Planning Commission voted April 16 to elect Michael LeGrand as chair and Sarah Schacht as vice chair during a short reorganization at the start of a special meeting.
LeGrand won the chair race by a 3-1 vote after commissioners first considered nominating Commissioner Michael Beveridge. After roll-call votes, the commission recorded three votes for LeGrand and one against. Later in the meeting the commission unanimously elected Commissioner Sarah Schacht to serve as vice chair.
The reorganization came ahead of multiple seat reappointments expected in June. Commissioner Lisa (last name not specified in the record) said she nominated Beveridge because he is not scheduled for reappointment and could provide continuity through June and July. Beveridge and LeGrand both accepted nominations and each emphasized experience and a desire for efficient, cooperative meetings.
Commissioners discussed procedure for tie votes during nominations; staff administered the roll-call votes. New Chair LeGrand thanked the commission and asked members to offer suggestions for improving meeting efficiency. The chair then led staff introductions and resumed the agenda.
No ordinance or code change was proposed as part of the reorganization; the action was limited to officer elections recorded in the meeting minutes.
