Planning commission appoints Mel Jones as interim chair
Summary
The Planning Commission appointed Mel Jones as interim planning commission chair per the commission bylaws; the motion passed unanimously.
The Blacksburg Planning Commission on the evening of the regular meeting appointed Mel Jones to serve as interim planning commission chair.
Commissioners cited the bylaws requiring the commission to appoint a replacement at the next meeting when a vacancy exists. As one commissioner explained, "in your bylaws as it says that if there is a vacancy in this position, then at the next meeting, which would be tonight, it would be up to the planning commission to appoint a new chair." A motion to appoint Mel Jones was made and seconded, and the commission approved the appointment with no opposition.
The appointment takes effect immediately for the purposes of conducting commission business until a permanent chair is selected according to the commission’s bylaws.
