Long County removes Planning & Zoning member; appointment of replacement fails
Summary
After an executive session at the Oct. 20, 2020 meeting, the Long County Board of Commissioners unanimously removed Melissa Green from the Planning & Zoning Board. A subsequent motion to appoint Tony Duncan failed 2–3 after an abstention and discussion about members' terms.
Following an executive session on personnel at its Oct. 20, 2020 meeting, the Long County Board of Commissioners voted to remove Melissa Green from the Planning and Zoning Board.
Chairman Robert D. Parker moved to remove Melissa Green; Commissioner Phillips seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. The action was recorded in the minutes that the board later adopted on Nov. 17, 2020.
Commissioner Phillips then moved to appoint Tony Duncan to the Planning and Zoning Board; Chairman Parker seconded the motion. Commissioner David Richardson recorded an abstention. Commissioner Riddle said he could not support the appointment because of his expiring term, and Vice Chairman Clifton Deloach said he preferred nominating Matthew Lester.
