Columbiana council appoints members to Zoning Board of Adjustments
Summary
The Columbiana City Council unanimously approved five citizen appointments and two supernumerary positions for the Zoning Board of Adjustments, formalizing terms and restoring quorum capacity for the board that handles variance appeals and related requests.
The Columbiana City Council voted unanimously to appoint five members and two supernumeraries to the city’s Zoning Board of Adjustments, Mayor Davis announced during the pre-council meeting.
The mayor presented the slate of appointees: Richard Glasgow to continue as chairman; Mary Dunaway, a resident and real-estate agent; Edwin Atchison, a local business owner; Amy Dixon, a former planning-and-zoning board member; and Paula Wheeler, a retired resident. The council also named Allen Reynolds (a city employee) and Robert Irwin (a teacher at CTEC) as supernumerary members who may vote if a regular member is absent.
The council moved to accept the appointments and the motion passed unanimously. Mayor Davis thanked the appointees for volunteering, saying, “Thank you for serving.”
The mayor characterized the ZBA as a largely volunteer board that meets as needed to hear variance requests and appeals and said members serve three-year terms. The meeting transcript lists the appointees’ term expirations as dates in 1928; council staff later indicated those years are transcription errors and the intended expiration years are in 2028.
No formal objections were recorded during the vote. The appointments restore the ZBA’s quorum capacity and are expected to allow the board to resume hearing variance and appeal matters as they arise.
