Commissioners interview planning-and-zoning candidates, expect decision within two weeks
Summary
The Dickinson County Board of Commissioners said it interviewed two candidates for an open seat on the Planning and Zoning Board, will interview a third applicant next week and expects to make an appointment within about two weeks to improve geographic balance on the board.
The Dickinson County Board of Commissioners said it interviewed two candidates and will interview a third applicant next week for an open seat on the Planning and Zoning Board. Commissioners emphasized geographic balance on the board and said they hope to make an appointment within two weeks.
Commissioners and staff noted the two candidates interviewed were from the south part of the county and that the county has intentionally tried to avoid overrepresentation from any one area. One commissioner said the county previously had an imbalance favoring the north and that bringing a member from the south would restore balance.
A commissioner (name not specified in the public transcript) said, "we're gonna make a decision by the following week. So within 2 weeks, I'd say we're gonna make a decision," and staff confirmed another applicant will be interviewed the following Thursday. No formal appointment was made at the meeting.
Tim Hamilton, planning and zoning director, was present to answer questions from commissioners about the role. Commissioners said the Planning and Zoning Board appointment is an important county position and that applications will remain on file for future openings.
