Cape Coral Planning & Zoning elects chair, vice chair; adopts agenda and minutes
Summary
During the Dec. 3 meeting the commission adopted the agenda and approved prior minutes, elected an individual referred to in the transcript as 'Mister Aapking' as chair and appointed an individual referenced as 'mister senator' as vice chair via roll-call-style tallies; all recorded votes in the meeting were announced as 'ayes.'
The Cape Coral City Planning & Zoning Commission conducted routine business at its Dec. 3 meeting, adopting the meeting agenda, approving November minutes and electing new leadership.
The presiding officer opened nominations for chair and prompted commissioners to nominate themselves. The transcript records a roll-call-style tally that resulted in the person identified in the meeting as "Mister Aapking" (name as spoken in the record) being appointed chair and the gavel being passed. The motion to appoint carried with commissioners responding "aye." A subsequent tally for vice chair favored the individual the transcript records as "mister senator," and that appointment also carried on an "all ayes" roll call.
Routine business: The commission approved the meeting agenda as presented and accepted the previously submitted November minutes after a motion and second; both procedural motions were announced as carried.
