Robinson council interviews two candidates for planning and zoning alternate seats
Summary
The Robinson City Council heard brief interviews from Matthew Bassi and James Garrett for Planning & Zoning alternate positions; both cited local ties and professional experience and were placed on the consent agenda for appointment.
Robinson City Council members interviewed two applicants for alternate seats on the Planning & Zoning commission during the meeting.
Matthew Bassi introduced himself as a real estate broker who moved to Robinson in 2010 and said he had attended prior planning and zoning meetings while working on real-estate matters with local groups such as NAMI. Bassi told the council he wanted to serve as an alternate in case a regular member is unable to attend and noted a long-term connection to the community, saying he would not be leaving soon because his daughter attends local schools.
James Garrett said he has lived in Robinson (returning in 2018), works as an accountant and has held CFO posts with school districts. Garrett described an interest in serving on planning and zoning to contribute financial and construction-related experience and noted his family arrangement and neighborhood residency on Sunset.
Councilors asked no substantive follow-up questions. Later in the meeting the council moved the appointments to the consent agenda and approved them as part of the consent vote.
Next steps: Because the appointments were included on the consent agenda and the consent motion passed, the applicants will be appointed in accordance with the city’s standard appointment process.
