Plain City appoints members to parks master‑plan committee

At its Feb. 4 meeting the Plain City Council nominated and approved members to serve on a parks master‑plan committee that will help develop the village’s parks master plan.

Council moved to appoint two council representatives — Tyler Harriman and Michael Terry — and several community and association representatives to the committee. The council also approved appointments from the parks and recreation committee (Katie Curry and Brad Haymayer), association representatives (Jason Caldwell and Curtis Balzner), Jonathan Alder soccer association members (Josh Jones and Sean Bischel), and a representative from Jonathan Alder Local School District (Steve Votall). The mayor accepted the committee roster and the motions were seconded and carried on the record.

No specific charter for the committee or funding allocation was voted at the meeting; the appointments were personnel/representation decisions confirming who will serve in a stakeholder role during master‑plan development. The council indicated the group will coordinate public outreach and planning work alongside staff as the parks master plan process proceeds.

Council members who spoke in favor described the appointees as enthusiastic community volunteers and existing committee members; no member spoke against the roster. The meeting record shows that the motions were made, seconded and carried; individual vote roll calls were recorded verbally as affirmative on the floor but the transcript does not provide a per‑member roll‑call list in the record provided.

Next steps: the parks master‑plan committee is expected to begin coordination with staff and schedule public engagement as part of the master‑plan process.
