Commission elects Commissioner Creighton as temporary chair amid absences
Summary
With the chair and vice chair absent, the Olathe Planning Commission voted 6–0 to elect Commissioner Creighton as temporary chair for the evening and proceeded with its agenda, including a pulled consent item and a presentation on a minor plat for Merlin Commercial Park.
The Olathe Planning Commission voted unanimously to elect Commissioner Creighton as temporary chair after Chairperson Janner and Vice Chairperson Breen were absent.
A commissioner moved to elect Commissioner Creighton for the meeting; the motion carried by voice vote, recorded as 6 to 0. The temporary chair then led the assembly through the Pledge of Allegiance and read the commission's regular opening remarks, emphasizing the commission's advisory role to the city council and the requirement that commissioners disclose any ex parte contacts on agenda items.
The election followed staff's announcement that the meeting had a quorum with six of nine commissioners present and that public hearing item A (the Lone Elm townhomes rezoning request) would be continued to a future meeting. The temporary chair then handled routine agenda business, including the consent agenda and subsequent items.
