Lufkin council fills 4B vacancy, rejects one planning-and-zoning nominee then appoints Gabriel Alamo
Summary
Council appointed Kim Ogden to the 4B Economic Development Board seat and, after a failed roll-call vote for Marcus Wells to Planning and Zoning, appointed Gabriel Alamo to the planning-and-zoning vacancy created by a resignation.
The Lufkin City Council made two appointments to local boards during its regular meeting. Council appointed Kim Ogden as the city’s representative to the 4B Economic Development Board to complete a term ending in December; the motion passed on a voice vote.
The council considered two nominations to fill a vacancy on the Planning and Zoning Commission created by Jack Ellis’s resignation. A nomination for Marcus Wells was moved but failed on a roll-call vote. After that vote failed, councilmember(s) moved and seconded a nomination for Gabriel Alamo; that motion carried and Alamo was appointed to serve the remainder of the term.
Staff explained that Rocky Thickpin had resigned from the 4B board, creating a council-member vacancy on that board; the appointment of Kim Ogden fills the remainder of that term. Council also reviewed applications from four planning-and-zoning applicants included in the meeting packet.
What's next: The newly appointed board members assume their duties for the remainder of the listed terms; specific starting dates and any required onboarding were not specified in the recorded segments.
