Planning commission elects chair and vice chair, withdraws a secretary nomination and approves amended rules
Summary
Commissioners elected Joanne as chair and Gene Babinec as vice chair by voice votes, later withdrew a motion to appoint John Taylor as secretary and approved amended rules of procedure; staff updates followed on communications towers and a local development project.
At the same meeting, commissioners handled new-business elections and procedural updates. A commissioner nominated Joanne for chair and the commission approved the nomination by voice vote; the newly chosen chair thanked the commission.
Gene Babinec was nominated and approved as vice chair by voice vote. Commissioners initially moved to appoint John Taylor as secretary, then voted to withdraw that nomination and left the secretary slot unresolved in the transcript.
The commission also approved amendments to its rules of procedure (time and place edits and a change to the secretary reference) by voice vote; staff was asked to update the rules text and reconcile the secretary/administrative references.
Staff then gave routine updates: planning staff said they are continuing due diligence with providers (Crown Castle) on communications-tower sites, that the Upper Beachwalker projects are in the building-review stage, and that preliminary intergovernmental discussions about urban growth boundary language with Charleston County and the town of Seabrook are ongoing.
The meeting closed after brief commissioner comments and a motion to adjourn passed by voice vote.
