Commission recommends two candidates to fill planning commission vacancies
Summary
The commission recommended Samantha Elliott and John 'Jake' Jefferson to the Board of County Commissioners to fill two vacant planning commission seats after a brief interview and discussion of qualifications.
The Planning Commission considered two applicants to fill two current vacancies on the county planning commission. Commissioners reviewed application materials and heard from John Jefferson (who said his legal name is John but goes by Jake), who described a background in land surveying, construction and work as a senior engineering technician for the City of Elko and said he has experience with GIS and plan review.
Commissioners discussed potential conflicts of interest around employment with the city and noted that the candidate said he would abstain from votes where a conflict arises. The commission moved to recommend both Samantha Elliott (application on file) and John 'Jake' Jefferson to the Board of County Commissioners; the motion passed by voice vote. The recommendation will allow the Board to make final appointments.
