Fergus County appoints Shani Nordlund to planning board; reappoints Denise Stultz to fair board
Summary
The commission approved Shani Nordlund for a first term on the city–county planning board and reappointed Denise Stultz to the fair board through 2029; commissioners discussed a recent renaming or reconstitution of the planning body in the record.
Fergus County commissioners approved two personnel appointments: they appointed Shani Nordlund to a first term on the city–county planning board and reappointed Denise Stultz to the fair board for a term ending in 2029.
During discussion of Nordlund's appointment a commissioner raised a question about whether the "city–county planning board" had been disbanded or renamed under a new statute and whether appointments should be to a planning commission instead. The chair said the body had been reconstituted under new statute language and said staff would clarify the official name and process; the motion to appoint Nordlund was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Denise Stultz's reappointment to the fair board was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote; the record shows no public objections.
Why it matters: Planning board members advise on land use and development matters; accurate appointment records and correct board naming matter for statutory compliance and for applicants who seek hearings before the correct body.
What’s next: Staff will verify and, if necessary, correct the official board name and ensure the appointment paperwork matches the governing body's current statutory name.
