Calistoga Planning Commission elects new officers and adopts 2026 meeting calendar
Summary
At the start of the meeting the commission nominated and recorded votes to appoint Steven Pinsky as chair and Emily De Buenari as vice chair, approved the previous meeting minutes (with one abstention), and adopted the 2026 meeting calendar.
At the start of the session the Calistoga Planning Commission completed internal organization and administrative business. Commissioners nominated Steven Pinsky for chair and Emily De Buenari for vice chair; both nominations were seconded and recorded by roll call and accepted.
The commission approved the minutes of the previous meeting; one commissioner abstained, citing illness on the night of the prior meeting. The commission then moved to adopt the proposed 2026 planning commission meeting calendar, which staff had included in the meeting packet; the motion carried by voice vote.
Chair Pinsky thanked outgoing Commissioner Tim Wilks for 12 years of service during the meeting and the commission adjourned after a brief director's report. The director said he will provide an update to the city council at an upcoming meeting summarizing planning and building department activities and project status.
Procedural notes: the meeting experienced a temporary YouTube outage and proceeded with in-person and Zoom availability; staff advised the public that the meeting could be listened to by phone while streaming was unavailable.
