Kismet planning and zoning board appoints county liaison, approves minutes and inventory

The Seward County City of Kismet Planning and Zoning Board met at 07:00 and approved routine business, including the meeting agenda, minutes for Feb. 9 and Feb. 23, and the inventory of record CU2025-2. The Chair led the votes and recorded that motions carried as stated in the meeting record.

The Chair asked that Kelly step aside during consideration of minutes related to a threshold agenda item because she had abstained on that item; the Chair also proposed clarifying language in the Feb. 23 minutes describing which parcels are included in the Appendix F legend used in recommended conditional-use-permit (CUP) terms. The Chair said members could request a brief executive session for legal consultation before approving any minute clarifications.

On Item 5 the board approved the inventory of record CU2025-2 after confirming it matched materials reviewed at prior meetings. A motion to approve the inventory was recorded as made by David and seconded by Mike; the Chair announced the motion passed.

On Item 6 the board appointed Jairo Vasquez as the county liaison under the planning commission bylaws (Article 6, Section 1.2). A motion to appoint was recorded as moved by Devin and seconded by Mike; members voted by show of hands and the Chair declared the motion passed. The transcript also includes an alternate rendering of the appointee's name as "Hyrule," which appears to be a transcription inconsistency; the board appointment was announced in the meeting as Jairo Vasquez.

Votes on routine approvals were recorded in the meeting as "aye" or by show of hands; where a numerical tally was provided, the Chair said the vote was 5-0. For other motions the transcript records that the motion passed but does not provide a full roll-call tally in the text.

The meeting concluded after brief member comments and a motion to adjourn, which the Chair accepted.
