Planning commission elects chair and vice chair for 2026
Summary
The Surry County Planning Commission voted to elect its chair and vice chair for 2026 during a remote meeting, selecting the nominated chair and naming Mister Hardy vice chair; the vote was carried by voice.
The Surry County Planning Commission elected its leadership for 2026 during a remote meeting called to order by the chair.
A commissioner nominated a candidate for chair (initially spoken as 'Garen Wooden' and later rendered in the record as 'Doctor Gary Whitten' in different utterances). Following nominations and a voice vote the transcript records, “The ayes have it,” and the nominee was declared elected. The commission then nominated and approved Mister Hardy as vice chair for 2026; the transcript records a second voice vote with the same outcome.
The elections took place during the meeting’s early procedural business after roll call confirmed a quorum. No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript; outcomes were taken by voice and announced by the chair.
