Planning commission excuses absences and elevates three alternates to voting members
Summary
Commissioners voted to excuse the stated absences for a January meeting and to move three alternates (Russell Hernandez, Donny/Donnie Britt and Karen Lockhart) from alternate status to voting members; the promotions will be placed on the City Council consent agenda for formalization.
At the conclusion of its agenda the Leon Valley Planning & Zoning Commission handled membership and attendance matters.
Under new business, commissioners considered a motion to excuse Commissioner Abraham Diaz and alternates Bridal and Karen Lockhart for a January 27 meeting in accordance with the zoning ordinance cited in the discussion. The motion was seconded and approved.
Separately, the commission approved a motion to move Russell Hernandez, Donny/Donnie Britt and Karen Lockhart from alternate status to voting members as part of a routine succession process. Commissioners said the administrative elevation is a technical step; the names will be forwarded to the City Council and appear on a consent agenda for formal approval.
Members discussed the practical need to fill vacancies and prevent prolonged absences by seated members. Commissioners noted the mayor was contacting potential appointees to fill remaining openings. The commission did not record objections to the motions; the chair announced each motion carried.
