Pullman Planning Commission elects John Anderson chair, Brent Carper vice chair
Summary
At its January 2026 regular meeting the Planning Commission elected John (Johnny) Anderson as chair and Brent Carper as vice chair by voice vote; commissioners agreed the chair should coordinate an annual report to city council and strengthen commission–council relations.
At the start of the January 2026 meeting the City of Pullman Planning Commission completed roll call and elected officers for the coming year. Commissioners nominated John (Johnny) Anderson for chair and Brent Carper for vice chair; both officers were approved by voice vote. Commissioners discussed expectations for the chair, including providing an annual report to the city council and aligning commission goals with council priorities.
Commissioners also raised internal expectations: Brent Carper said he would serve as vice chair this year but preferred another member succeed him next year and asked the commission to plan outreach to strengthen the commission’s relationship with city council. The commission recorded that staff will check code/bylaw language and the chair agreed to provide an update on annual report process in February.
The process was procedural and concluded with the next agenda item; no formal votes (by roll call) were recorded in the public transcript — outcomes were recorded by voice vote.
