Bluff planning commission recommends Marsha Haydenfeld for town council slot
Summary
The Bluff Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend Marsha Haydenfeld for appointment to a council vacancy. Commissioners praised her experience and will forward the recommendation to the town council, which will act Dec. 3.
The Town of Bluff Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend Marsha Haydenfeld for appointment to an open seat on the Bluff Town Council.
Commissioners reviewed two applicants — Marsha Haydenfeld and Ed Dobson — and discussed candidate availability and time commitments. An unidentified commissioner who spoke in support of Haydenfeld moved to recommend her, citing her careful preparation and prior work on the RV ordinance. The motion was seconded and, after brief discussion, the commission recorded the motion as passing with three ayes.
The commission chair said she would send the recommendation to the town council ahead of its Dec. 3 meeting, when council members will vote on the appointment. The commission’s action is a formal recommendation; final appointment authority rests with the town council.
Commissioners acknowledged Dobson’s long service and said his decision not to be recommended reflected a desire to preserve time for family and other commitments rather than a judgment on his qualifications. The commission’s minutes note the vote and the plan to forward the recommendation to the council for final action.
What happens next: the Town Council is scheduled to consider the commission’s recommendation at its Dec. 3 meeting. If the council approves the recommendation, the appointee will assume the volunteer seat according to town appointment procedures.
