The Rush Valley Planning and Zoning Commission elected Boone Baird as chair and Scotty Hawkins as vice chair for the 2025 calendar year and approved the Nov. 6, 2024, meeting minutes during its Jan. 8, 2025, meeting.
The leadership votes followed roll call and a brief discussion of typographical corrections to the draft Nov. 6 minutes. Commissioners in attendance included David Anderson, Paul Bishop, Boone Baird, Scotty Hawkins and Carl Wall; Patty Rowe attended as town clerk and Ensign Engineering was present for technical review.
Commission business opened with a motion to accept the Nov. 6 minutes “as written with a couple of typo corrections.” The commission approved the motion by voice vote. Following nominations for the 2025 leadership positions, a motion to elect Boone Baird as chair carried by voice vote and a separate motion to elect Scotty Hawkins as vice chair also passed by voice vote.
The commission reviewed the 2025 meeting calendar and discussed shifting the July meeting from July 2 to July 9 to avoid proximity to Independence Day and confirmed keeping the September meeting date as listed despite Labor Day occurring the week prior. Town clerk Patty Rowe was asked to update the calendar and distribute the revised schedule.
The commission also decided how to complete the annual Open and Public Meetings Act training: the clerk will email a link to the training slide deck to members; commissioners will complete the training online and certify completion at the next meeting.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn that passed by voice vote.
