Sean Kelly approved as 2026 chair of Planning and Zoning Commission
Summary
After discussing member availability and quorum concerns, the Planning and Zoning Commission nominated and approved Sean Kelly as chair for 2026 by voice vote; commissioners urged steady membership and recruitment to sustain the commission’s work.
The Planning and Zoning Commission elected Sean Kelly as its chair for 2026 after a short nomination and voice vote. Chair opened the item on electing a new chair and, after discussion about member availability and quorum, nominated Sean Kelly; another commissioner seconded the nomination and the commission approved the selection by voice vote.
The election followed a conversation in which commissioners noted two appointed members were out of town and discussed whether nominees could reliably attend meetings. One commissioner described upcoming personal moves and work commitments that could limit service, and the group emphasized the mayor’s role in appointing replacements when necessary so the commission can maintain an experienced quorum.
Chair congratulated the new chair at the close of the vote and offered to assist during any transitional period. The commission then moved on to the ordinance discussion and later voted to forward the ordinance draft to the town council.
The vote to approve Sean Kelly was by voice; the transcript records ayes but no roll-call tally.
