Pleasanton Planning Commission names Pace chair, Jane vice chair for 2026
Summary
On Jan. 28, 2026, the Pleasanton Planning Commission selected Commissioner Pace as chair for a one-year term and Commissioner Jane as vice chair; the body said the choices are intended as part of the commission’s regular rotation and stewardship of leadership roles.
Commissioner Pace was selected as chair of the Pleasanton Planning Commission for 2026 at the commission’s Jan. 28 meeting after a nomination and straw vote among present members. Commissioner Jagiel nominated Pace; Pace said he would serve for a single year as a “caretaker” and emphasized returning to the usual rotation afterward.
Commissioner Jane was nominated and accepted the vice chair role; commissioners voiced support by consensus. The commission discussed norms around nominating absent members after Commissioner Jane reported she had spoken with Commissioner Mohan, who said he would be willing to serve as chair if the commission wanted him; several commissioners said nominees should ideally be present to accept and answer questions.
The nominations followed the commission’s procedural rules noted by staff: chairs typically serve one-year terms and commissioners may serve up to two consecutive terms. Commissioners said the choices aim to preserve rotation and give members opportunities to serve in leadership roles.
The commission did not take a formal recorded roll-call vote on the chair and vice-chair appointments beyond the straw consensus and the chair’s announcement. The meeting then moved on to committee appointments and other business.
