St. Helens planning commission elects Jennifer Headlast chair, David Rosengard vice chair
Summary
Commissioners nominated and approved Jennifer Headlast as chair and David Rosengard as vice chair; members discussed attendance expectations and code provisions for succession.
At the meeting, commissioners moved to name Jennifer Headlast chair and David Rosengard vice chair of the St. Helens Planning Commission.
A commissioner nominated Headlast and the motion received a second; members asked whether the nominee would accept and Headlast said she would. Commissioners then discussed vice-chair duties and attendance expectations; one commissioner noted code language that the most senior member fills in when chair and vice chair are absent. A motion to appoint David Rosengard as vice chair followed; Rosengard agreed to serve despite noting occasional remote attendance, and commissioners carried the motion by voice vote.
Commissioners discussed practical considerations for the vice chair role, including the need to be present in person for some meetings and the code provision that senior members fill in during absences. The commission recorded the leadership changes and will notify the City Council as appropriate.
