Millbrae council appoints two to Planning Commission; resident urges retention of experienced commissioner
Summary
Council appointed incumbent Marine Davis and Nathan Chan to four-year Planning Commission terms ending June 30, 2030, by a council vote reported as 4-0; an online speaker, Jean Wong, urged the council to reappoint Nathan Chan citing his experience.
The Millbrae City Council filled two Planning Commission seats at the June 9 meeting, appointing incumbent Marine Davis and Nathan Chan to four-year terms ending June 30, 2030.
City staff said three candidates were under consideration after interviews: Ken Leland, Nathan Chan (incumbent) and incumbent Marine Davis (who had provided a written statement). An online public commenter, Jean Wong, identified herself as a Millbrae resident of 28 years and urged the council to reappoint Commissioner Nathan Chan, describing him as experienced at balancing competing interests and analyzing technical reports.
Vice Mayor Fun suggested the council might make one appointment and leave another to the next meeting to allow the absentee incumbent an opportunity to speak, but the council decided to reappoint both incumbents and the motion passed with the tally reported as 4 yes, 0 no.
What happens next: the two appointed commissioners will serve through June 30, 2030, and staff encouraged other applicants to remain engaged with city commissions and future openings.
