Island Planning Commission elects Jonas chair and keeps Bryce as vice chair

The Glynn County Island Planning Commission elected Jonas as its chair and re‑confirmed Bryce as vice chair at its Tuesday meeting, commissioners said. The elections were uncontested and approved by voice vote.

The action followed a brief procedural briefing from an unidentified staff member outlining the nomination process: chair nominations are held first, then vice chair; any commissioner may nominate, no second is required, votes are taken in nomination order, and four votes are needed to transact business. A commissioner nominated Jonas; the commission approved the nomination without recorded objection. Later, commissioners nominated and confirmed Bryce to continue as vice chair.

The meeting record shows the votes were unanimous and taken by voice; no roll‑call vote or individual tallies were recorded in the transcript. The newly elected chair took or retained the gavel and continued the meeting to other agenda business.

The elections were procedural and did not include debate on policy. The commission went on to approve minutes from its Dec. 18, 2025 meeting and to hear public‑hearing items.

Next procedural steps will follow the commission’s regular schedule; no additional administrative requirements for the officers were recorded in the transcript.
