Beardstown City Council appoints six to Planning and Zoning Commission
Summary
The Beardstown City Council on Aug. 19 appointed six residents to the Planning and Zoning Commission by a 6-0 roll call vote. Appointees and their term lengths were announced; two council members were absent.
Beardstown, Ill. — The Beardstown City Council appointed six people to the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission during its regular meeting on Aug. 19, approving the slate by a 6-0 roll call vote.
Alderperson Allie Dawson moved — with Alderperson Lisa Buhlig seconding — to appoint Seth Coats (term listed as 6), Betsy Brown (6), Katie Vitale (4), Ernie Bolen (4), Pat Cooper (2) and Jake Elam (2) to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The motion passed 6-0; the minutes record the yeas as Buhlig, Schramm, Dawson, Davis, Culves and Seward. Aldermen Harbin and Taylor were noted as absent.
The council did not state an effective date for the appointments in the publicly read motion; the meeting record lists term lengths in parentheses but does not expand on start dates or whether any appointees are filling unexpired terms. The Planning and Zoning Commission reviews land-use and zoning matters for Beardstown, which can affect development approvals, zoning changes and conditional-use permits.
The appointment followed routine approvals earlier in the meeting and there were no public comments on the commission slate. The council adjourned at 6:43 p.m.
The meeting record does not specify next steps for the appointees (for example, an orientation or first hearing date). For more detail on effective dates or vacancies being filled, the city clerk’s office would be the listed source in the meeting minutes.
