At its twentieth meeting, the City of Ocean Planning Commission reappointed Heston Lauber to serve as the plan commission’s representative on the board of zoning appeals, confirmed the appointment of Brad Minnick as the city civil engineer, and re-elected the current officers of the land commission.
Unidentified Speaker (Speaker 2) announced appointments, saying, “So first, we have Brad Minnick, who is the new city civil engineer,” and stated that citizen appointments Tom Holzinger and Heston Laubber (appears later as Heston Lauber) were reappointed by the mayor to four‑year terms. The commission then took formal action on the board of zoning appeals seat, noting that Heston Lauber (current appointee) was willing to continue.
Tom Holzinger moved to reappoint Heston Lauber to the board of zoning appeals; Doug Nesli seconded. The commission voted by voice—“Aye”—and the motion carried. The transcript records the motion and a simple voice approval; no roll-call tally of individual votes was recorded in the provided excerpt.
The panel then held elections for the land commission. The chair noted current assignments (chair/president: the meeting’s presiding member; vice president: Rolando Ortiz; secretary: Tom Holzinger) and said the incumbents were willing to remain. A motion to re-elect the slate was made by Doug Nesli and seconded by Jim Wellington; the motion passed by voice vote.
A motion to approve the minutes from the prior meeting was made by Tom Holzinger and seconded by Jim Willington. The commission clarified that Brad Minnick, as a newly seated member, may abstain if he had not had the opportunity to review prior minutes; the motion to approve carried by voice vote.
A brief request for staff or board items followed, and the chair moved toward adjournment, indicating he would hand the floor to Doug Douglas Lee. The formal adjournment vote or time is not recorded in the provided transcript.
The actions taken at this meeting were routine administrative items: appointments and elections to internal boards and confirmation of the civil engineer’s position. No policy debates, ordinance readings, or substantive regulatory decisions are recorded in the transcript excerpt.
