Lafayette Planning Commission elects chair and vice chair; one commissioner announces upcoming resignation
Summary
Commissioners re‑elected Chair Labonge and selected Commissioner Deming as vice chair in a voice vote. During reports, a commissioner said they plan to resign within months and will attend meetings as possible until departure.
The Lafayette Planning Commission held officer elections and confirmed chair and vice‑chair positions by voice vote. Commissioner Labonge accepted renomination for chair and Commissioner Deming accepted the nomination for vice chair; nominations were seconded and votes were taken with majority support.
The nominations were proposed during "other business" after the planning agenda items concluded. A commissioner noted outreach to other commissioners and invited nominations; "I would accept my nomination," Labonge said when nominated. Commissioner Deming likewise accepted the vice‑chair nomination.
During the commissioner reports, one commissioner announced they will be resigning within the next couple of months but said they will continue to attend meetings as possible while packing and preparing a move. Colleagues thanked the commissioner for their service.
No formal policy actions arose from the election item beyond the officer appointments; staff noted procedural rules for nominations and the commission proceeded by voice vote.
