Council confirms two planning‑commission appointments
Summary
The Highland Park City Council approved two appointments to its Planning Commission — Miles Morgan and Jaylen Smith — after brief question-and-answer exchanges with each candidate; both appointments passed on roll call votes.
The Highland Park City Council approved two appointments to the Planning Commission during its Dec. 1 meeting. The council voted to appoint Miles Morgan and Jaylen Smith to fill two open seats on the commission.
Miles Morgan was present in the chamber and answered a short line of questions from council members about his qualifications. Councilman O'Shaughnessy said he had 'no questions' and supported Morgan; the roll call to approve Morgan’s appointment recorded unanimous support among the voting members in attendance.
Jaylen Smith participated online and briefly outlined his professional background and qualifications before the council took a roll-call vote. The clerk recorded the vote as carried.
Council members described the two seats as openings that had not previously been filled rather than replacements for sitting commissioners. The council did not discuss any substantive changes to the commission’s duties during the appointments.
The appointments conclude that agenda item and advance the council’s ability to convene a full Planning Commission for future land-use matters.
