The Clinton County Board of Commissioners filled two Planning Commission seats and reappointed one incumbent at its March 12 meeting. Commissioner Nicole Fickes moved, and Commissioner Robert Showers seconded, to appoint Rebecca Brinkley Batterbee to the Planning Commission to serve the remainder of a three-year term expiring May 1, 2028; the motion carried. The minutes note Batterbee resides in Bingham Township.

For a separate remainder-term seat, nominations included Jason Almerigi and Brian Byars. Roll-call voting recorded individual preferences; five commissioners voted for Brian Byars and two for Jason Almerigi, resulting in Byars' appointment to a term expiring May 1, 2026. The board then reappointed Brian Byars to a three-year term expiring May 1, 2029 on a motion by Commissioner Showers, seconded by Commissioner Washington; the motion carried.

Commissioner Rudat had nominated Stephanie Schaefer for one vacancy, but the minutes record there was no support for that nomination. The minutes do not provide further background on the appointees' qualifications beyond residency for Batterbee nor detail interview or vetting steps in the record.
