Christopher Hooper appointed to Peletier planning board
Summary
Christopher Hooper, a recent resident and retired Coast Guard chief petty officer, was appointed to the Peletier planning board and will take his seat at the July 6 meeting after a motion and voice vote.
The Town of Peletier appointed Christopher Hooper to the planning board after he expressed interest during public comment. Hooper introduced himself as a recent Peletier Shores resident and said he retired from the Coast Guard after more than 20 years of service; he told the board he wanted to "give back to the community."
Board action: A motion to appoint Hooper to the planning board was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote. Hooper will be sworn in and take his seat at the July 6 meeting.
Why it matters: Filling the planning-board seat restores a quorum for planning-board duties and brings a resident with prior public-service experience onto the board. The appointment was made from the floor during the meeting’s public-comment/new-business period.
Next steps: Hooper will attend the July 6 meeting and be sworn in at that time.
Reporting note: On-the-record statements were used for the appointment and Hooper’s background.
