Brian Davies elected chair of Whitman County Planning Commission; Dave Gibney picked as vice chair
Summary
At the Jan. 7 workshop the Planning Commission elected Brian Davies as chair and Dave Gibney as vice chair after a multi-candidate vote. Commissioners also agreed on procedures for future votes and the new leadership will shepherd the county's upcoming critical areas ordinance update.
The Whitman County Planning Commission elected Brian Davies as its new chair at the Jan. 7 workshop following nominations from several commissioners. After nominations for Dean Kinzer and others, the commission used a show-of-hands tally and declared Davies the winner; the chair announced the count as six votes in Davies' favor.
The commission then selected Dave Gibney as vice chair in a separate vote that the chair recorded as 5-4. Brian Davies said the newly elected leadership would take on agenda and procedural responsibilities for the year ahead. "Dave has been elected vice chair by a vote of 5 to 4," Davies said during the meeting. The leadership change means Davies will preside over upcoming hearings, including the time-sensitive critical areas ordinance review and any SEPA-related proceedings.
