Summary

The Zoning Board voted to permit the board chair to sign written decisions on behalf of all members for the duration of the chair's term, a practice the board has followed informally in recent years.

The Arlington Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously to authorize the duly elected chair to sign decisions on behalf of all board members. Chair Christian Klein explained the practice streamlines administrative processing so members need not individually sign every decision.

The motion was adopted by roll call and the board recorded that the authority will expire at the end of the chair’s service. Members indicated this has been the board’s practical approach for several years and approved a motion formalizing the practice.
