Clayton council appoints two to Planning Commission in 3-2 vote after public comment
Summary
The Clayton City Council on June 20 appointed Joseph Banchero and Bretten Casagrande to the Planning Commission by a 3-2 vote after residents voiced concerns about reappointments and the Master Fee Schedule.
The Clayton City Council voted 3-2 on June 20 to appoint Joseph Banchero and Bretten Casagrande to the city Planning Commission, filling two seats with terms through June 30, 2025. Mayor Jeff Wan moved the resolution and Vice Mayor Diaz seconded; Councilmembers Tillman and Cloven voted no.
The item followed separate interviews with three applicants: incumbent Ed Miller, Bretten Casagrande, and Joseph Banchero. Dan Richardson, speaking during public comment on the item, described the current Planning Commission’s collaborative work and said he supported reappointing Ed Miller. The council did not reappoint Miller.
Supporters and critics of the reappointment framed their arguments around experience and committee continuity. The motion to appoint Banchero and Casagrande was recorded as Resolution No. 34-2023.
The council’s split vote reflected differing member views: two members opposed the appointments, while three supported them. The council took the vote following public comment and returned from a short recess before continuing the evening’s agenda.
No additional formal direction or follow-up assignment was recorded on the appointment; the resolution establishes the appointees’ terms to June 30, 2025.
