Planning commission reorganizes leadership; Pete nominated chair, Jim named vice chair
Summary
At a Stamford Planning Commission reorganization meeting members nominated Pete as chair and confirmed Jim as vice chair after a brief discussion about waiting for an absent member. The commission proceeded after determining a quorum was present.
The Stamford Planning Commission moved forward with leadership changes during its reorganization meeting. Commissioner (speaker S3) nominated Pete for chair and a second was recorded; after discussion the commission approved the nomination and then appointed Jim as vice chair.
Chair (S1) framed the procedural question about waiting for absent member Dan but said the meeting was posted and a quorum existed, and the commission proceeded. On the vote the chair called for approval and members answered in the affirmative. "We have a motion. We have a 2nd. All in favor?" the chair asked; members responded "Aye." The commission then took a separate motion to appoint Jim as vice chair, which was seconded and advanced without extended debate.
The reorganization took place at the start of the posted meeting after members discussed whether to delay for the absent member. No formal roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript; minutes indicate the motions carried and the commission moved on to the hearing of visitors.
