Kismet planning board elects Edgar as chair, Devin as vice chair; Tanya Harris named recording secretary

During its meeting, the Seward County City of Kismet Planning and Zoning Board accepted nominations and elected new officers for the year.

A member nominated Edgar for chair; the nomination was moved and seconded and members voted in favor, electing Edgar as chair. The board then accepted nominations for vice chair and elected Devin to that role after a motion and second carried. Later, members moved and seconded to appoint Tanya Harris as the recording secretary; the motion passed by voice vote.

Several members offered brief remarks after the elections, urging patience as new members catch up on ongoing matters and noting that recent litigation and information flow have lengthened deliberations. The chair thanked members for their votes and for volunteering their time.

The elections were recorded by voice vote; the transcript does not provide a roll‑call tally. These officer appointments take effect immediately for the board to conduct its business and to prepare for the continued hearing and other items on future agendas.
