Summary

The council discussed Ordinance 425 and moved to appoint a council member as the ex‑officio, non‑voting Planning Commission representative; Councelor Waller was recommended to serve in that role for attendance and participation but not voting.

Council members resumed Old Business on Ordinance 425, which provides for an ex‑officio council member of the Planning Commission who attends meetings and participates but does not vote. The council noted differing local interpretations of “ex‑officio” and confirmed the ordinance contemplates a non‑voting council representative.

On the record, a speaker moved that Councelor Waller serve as the council’s ex‑officio member on the Planning Commission. The motion was placed for consideration; the transcript records that the matter was moved forward at the meeting and would return for formal action (the agenda indicated this item had been held at the reorganizational meeting pending appointment of the fifth council seat).

The council discussed the role and next steps. No separate Planning Commission vote is recorded in this transcript; the appointment and any formal seating will be completed in a subsequent meeting where the council will finalize the appointment.
