The council considered the mayor's nomination of John Thiaguni to serve on the Planning & Zoning Commission filling a seat vacated by Ray Waltz (who is now on the city council). Thiaguni introduced himself to council as a long‑time valley resident and an educator with approximately 27 years of teaching experience; he described his interest in community service and learning local land‑use processes.

Council asked about his teaching location (he teaches science at Eagle Middle School), and members noted that the commission had reviewed the application and recommended approval. A motion to approve the mayor's appointment passed by unanimous voice vote.

Staff clarified the appointment term (01/06/2026 to 02/21/2027) and the council thanked the appointee for volunteering to serve.
