Pierson council to solicit applicants after Planning & Zoning vacancy
Summary
Following Jonathan Vickers' resignation from the Planning & Zoning Commission, councilors discussed candidate recommendations (Kelly Green and Mary Kate Hansen) and asked staff to post an application and solicit additional applicants before making an appointment.
The Planning & Zoning Commission vacancy created by Jonathan Vickers' resignation prompted a procedural discussion about how the town fills commission seats.
Chairman Paul Martel and the commission recommended Kelly Green; Mayor Gray Leonard offered Mary Kate Hansen as an additional candidate. Town attorney Scott Simpson explained typical practice includes soliciting applications — either by posting on the town website or using word of mouth — and then having the council or commission nominate and appoint a candidate. The council asked staff to prepare an application form, post the vacancy, and collect any additional applicants so the council could act at an upcoming meeting.
