Planning Commission seats filled: Naomi Roche and Mark Wetmore appointed
Summary
The county appointed Naomi Roche (recommended by the Planning Commission) and Mark Wetmore to fill two seats on the Elko County Planning Commission; remaining vacancies will be considered at the Jan. 22 meeting.
Senior Planner Corey Rice told the commission there were four seats with expired terms and one resignation; the Planning Commission recommended Naomi Roche to fill one vacancy. Rice asked the board to consider appointing at least two members to ensure a quorum for an upcoming Planning Commission meeting.
Applicants spoke to the board: Scott Gavorski emphasized his development and demographic research experience and willingness to serve; Naomi Roche described her architecture training and stated she is pursuing licensure. After discussion, commissioners appointed Mark Wetmore and Naomi Roche to fill two seats and agreed to post remaining nominations until the Jan. 22 meeting so the full commission can consider other applicants.
Commissioners noted there had been some controversy reported about other applicants but said support for incumbents and the planning commission’s recommendation informed the decision. The board completed voice votes approving the appointments; no numeric roll-call was recorded in the transcript.
