Summary

Council approved two‑month term extensions for seven board and commission members to allow interviews in April and ratified reappointments to the Planning Commission and Building Advisory Appeals Board; the ratification vote carried with one no vote.

The City Council approved a two‑month extension for seven commissioners whose terms were scheduled to expire in March so interviews and appointments can proceed following the mayor's travel schedule.

The clerk explained the extensions would allow interviews to be held in April and May and preserve continuity for the boards that advise the council. The mayor also recommended ratification of several reappointments to the Planning Commission and the Building Advisory Appeals Board.

Council split the item into two votes. The first vote, to extend the expiring terms through the end of May, passed unanimously. The second vote, ratifying the mayor’s reappointments to the planning and appeals boards, passed with one dissenting vote from Councilmember Martinez.

What happens next: Staff will carry the extensions through the interview process and return to the council for appointment confirmations per the municipal code.
