Emigration Canyon Planning Commission elects new chair, adopts December minutes
Summary
At its Jan. 9 meeting the Emigration Canyon Planning Commission elected Tim Harpst as chair, nominated Jody Giroux as vice chair in absentia, and approved minor edits to December meeting minutes before adoption.
The Emigration Canyon Planning Commission elected Tim Harpst as its new chair and approved the commission's December minutes at a meeting on Jan. 9, 2025.
The leadership change followed a motion to nominate Harpst for chair, a second and a voice vote. Commissioners also moved to nominate Jody Giroux for vice chair; Giroux was not present but commissioners noted she had told the commission at previous meetings that she would accept the position and approved the nomination in absentia, pending her confirmation.
Commissioners reviewed the draft minutes from December and identified two clerical edits: replacing an incorrect reference that read "immigration county FA prefers" with "Emigration City prefers" (removing the stray "FA"), and placing quotations around the word "shall" for clarity in a different sentence. With those corrections noted, the commission voted to adopt the minutes.
There were brief thanks and acknowledgements to the outgoing chair for his years of service before the commission moved on to code-review business.
