Commission records completion of required planning training and schedules local session
Summary
The commission adopted a resolution documenting planning commissioner training completion and agreed to schedule a 4-hour certified training session (likely in January); the resolution was recorded as adopted in November 2024.
The DeSoto Parish Planning Commission adopted a resolution recording that commissioners who attended recent training in Baton Rouge have completed the state-required 4-hour planning certification.
A commission member said the Baton Rouge conference provided a helpful overview of planning practice and state requirements. Staff recommended recording training completion in the minutes because certification is required by the state and recording may be important for legal clarity should an official action be challenged.
The commission discussed scheduling an onsite training session next year, with members expressing January availability but noting some calendar conflicts; staff will poll members and coordinate with a trainer. The resolution was put to a vote and declared adopted (the Chair announced it was adopted and recorded in November 2024).
