Planning commissioner Amy Goble resigns; commission to notify council and seek replacement
Summary
Commissioner Amy Goble submitted a resignation during the April 10 meeting citing time constraints; the commission asked staff to notify the mayor and city council and to begin compiling candidate suggestions for a replacement.
At the close of public-business items during the April 10 meeting, Amy Goble submitted a written resignation from the Fountain Green Planning and Zoning Commission, citing increased personal demands that require her to discontinue volunteer service. She indicated the resignation was effective immediately.
The commission accepted her notice and asked staff to forward the letter to the city council and mayor. Commissioners expressed appreciation for Goble's nearly five years of volunteer service. Several commissioners asked the mayor's office to prioritize identifying a replacement and suggested, as a preference, increasing representation by appointing a woman to the vacant seat.
No formal vote to "excuse" her was taken; staff and commissioners confirmed a letter will be sent to the council and mayor and that municipal staff will work on recruitment and notification of the vacancy.
