Commission unanimously votes to remove nominating‑committee requirement from bylaws

Nov 20, 2025

Madison County Planning Commission voted unanimously to initiate an amendment removing the standing nominating committee requirement from its bylaws and to proceed with distributing amendment language ahead of a December vote, replacing the committee with nominations from the floor at the January meeting.

The full story

The commission moved and unanimously approved a motion to amend its bylaws to remove the requirement that a three‑person nominating committee prepare a slate of officers. Commissioners argued the current process is inefficient and agreed to distribute proposed amendment language at least 15 days before the December meeting, per existing bylaw notice requirements, so that nominations can be made from the floor at the January meeting.
