Council adopts ordinance updating Plan Commission membership
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance 20 26-07-01 to amend Plan Commission membership and staggered terms; the change requires three council-appointed members who must be elected or appointed town officials or employees and four citizen members appointed by the council president.
The council moved to adopt Ordinance 20 26-07-01, which updates Chapter A150 of the town ordinance book governing Plan Commission membership and terms. Chair summarized the change: the planning commission will consist of seven members with three appointed by the town council (who must be elected or appointed town officials or employees) and four citizen members appointed by the town council president; the ordinance also includes staggered four‑year terms and other updates to bring the town’s code in line with current state statute.
The adoption motion was made and seconded; the council voiced agreement and the ordinance was adopted following affirmative votes. Chair noted portions of the prior code dated from 1974 and said the amendment modernizes appointment procedures and clarifies representation on the Plan Commission.
