Board approves updated town‑county planning board bylaws, discusses representation
Summary
Commissioners approved updated town‑county planning board bylaws and discussed ensuring county representation on the board and the need for an odd number of members and an ex‑officio official.
Treasure County commissioners reviewed and approved updated bylaws for the town‑county planning board at the Aug. 1 meeting. Staff said the bylaws were adapted from the county planning board and revised to conform with statute and updated membership rules.
Commissioners discussed representation on the planning board and emphasized that the county should have a representative and that membership be structured to provide an odd number of voting members along with a non‑voting ex‑officio elected official or employee. The board asked staff to run the bylaws by the town and return the documents to the planning board for signatures.
The commission moved and approved adoption of the bylaws and asked staff to prepare the formal signatures and routing that mirror the town’s process. Commissioners also briefly discussed prior items the planning board had agendized — including growth‑policy and wind‑farm references — and asked that planning board agendas better coordinate with the commissioners when items affect county policy.
