Conway Planning Commission elects new officers; staff announces promotions and hiring
Summary
At its final meeting before the holidays, the Conway Planning Commission elected Commissioner Ethan Reed as chair, Alexander Batney as vice chair and Mark Ferguson as secretary; staff also announced internal promotions and that the planning technician position is open.
The Conway Planning Commission completed officer elections and heard personnel updates at its meeting, selecting new leadership and receiving administrative staff announcements ahead of the new year.
A commissioner nominated Ethan Reed for chair; the nomination was seconded and approved by unanimous voice vote. Alexander Batney was nominated and approved as vice chair, and Mark Ferguson was appointed secretary after a motion and second. Commissioners voted by voice with no recorded objections.
The chair noted that the City Council had approved "Miss Lori" for a five-year term but reminded the commission that its bylaws do not allow a chair to serve consecutive terms, which precipitated the leadership change. Outgoing remarks expressed appreciation for the commission’s service.
Planning staff provided administrative updates: staff said changes will go into effect Jan. 1, noted internal promotions (Becca promoted to planner I; Lauren promoted to planner II; Tara promoted to assistant director) and announced the department is accepting applications to fill the planning technician role, with roughly seven candidates expected to be interviewed.
The meeting concluded with holiday greetings and a motion to adjourn.
