Village board appoints Mark Van Hefty to planning commission
Summary
The Village of Harrison board unanimously appointed Mark Van Hefty to the planning commission for a one‑year term at its April 21, 2026 special meeting after trustees considered and withdrew an amendment to extend the term to two years.
The Village of Harrison board unanimously appointed Mark Van Hefty to the planning commission at a special meeting on April 21, 2026. The motion, which set a term beginning April 21, 2026 and expiring April 18, 2027, passed after a brief procedural discussion.
The appointment was moved and seconded by trustees and formally approved by the board. During debate one trustee proposed amending the motion to make the appointment a two‑year term, but other trustees raised a point of order citing the village ordinance that requires trustee appointments to be one year. A trustee read from the ordinance’s language indicating that a village president appoints a trustee and the board approves that appointment for a one‑year term; the proposed amendment was withdrawn and the original motion moved to a vote.
Chair (speaker 2) called for the vote and announced the motion carried unanimously. The board then adjourned the special board portion of the meeting. No conditions or follow‑up tasks for the appointee were recorded in the meeting record.
The appointment concluded the board’s special session; the meeting immediately proceeded to a joint session with the planning commission for a planned presentation on zoning-code modernization.
