Council reappoints two to planning commission; opens recruitment for vacancy
Summary
Oakley’s council reappointed Cliff Goldthorpe and Jan Manning to the planning commission, accepted Steve Mames' resignation, and directed staff to advertise the vacancy with a 14-day notice period and public interviews.
The council reappointed Cliff Goldthorpe and Jan Manning to four-year terms on the planning commission and accepted the resignation of Steve Mames.
Council discussed the practical mechanics for filling the upcoming vacancy: staff said the opening will be advertised and letters of interest accepted with a 14-day notice; interviews will be public and the council may vote by voice vote (legal counsel recommended voice votes for transparency). Councilmembers also discussed whether future reappointments should be opened to outside applicants rather than automatically renewing incumbents.
Next steps: staff will post the vacancy, accept letters of interest until the advertised close date, and schedule public interviews; the council discussed that an appointee to fill Mames’ unexpired term would serve about two years until the term expires.
