Bernalillo approves Planning & Zoning commission appointment schedule to align with Ordinance 367
Summary
The governing body voted to adopt a schedule aligning Planning & Zoning Commission appointments with Ordinance 367, listing terms for seven commissioners and preserving staggered terms per ordinance guidance.
Rebecca Bolen presented a memo asking the governing body to approve a schedule for Planning & Zoning Commission appointments and terms to maintain the stagger required by Ordinance 89 as amended by Ordinance 367.
Bolen proposed terms beginning January 2026 and January 2025 for specific commissioners; the memo listed names and original appointment dates, including Michael Griego, Oliver Romero, Deanna Marquez, Sarah Martinez, Juanita Duran, Raul Montano and Joseph Quintana. Councilor Torres-Quintana moved to approve the schedule and Councilor Prairie seconded; the council approved the schedule on a roll call vote with all members voting yea.
Why it matters: maintaining staggered terms ensures continuity on the Planning & Zoning Commission and aligns appointments with the ordinance the governing body adopted. The approved schedule sets which commissioners' terms expire in December 2026 and December 2027.
Next steps: the town clerk and relevant departments will record the appointments and terms per the approved schedule and proceed with any needed recruitment or reappointment processes when seats come up for expiration.
