Council members praise Linda Manning’s persistence as she seeks a Planning & Zoning seat
Summary
Linda Manning told council she understands the land-use code from professional experience with building applications and said she has availability to serve; members raised questions about potential conflicts and whether she might instead help fill other boards that struggle to reach quorum.
Linda Manning appeared before the Aspen City Council to seek appointment to the Planning & Zoning Commission and described daily professional work on building applications and familiarity with the land-use code. "I deal with building applications every day," she said, adding she has prior experience on historic-preservation and advisory boards and understands the permit and approval process.
Council members commended Manning’s persistence as an applicant: one councilmember said, "Nobody has been a more persistent and devoted applicant than Linda," and others asked whether her private-sector work would require frequent recusals or conflicts. Manning said she has only one client now and did not expect routine conflicts, and she told the council she would also be open to serving on the board of adjustments if that would be more helpful. The council noted they will review all applicants and make appointments at a future work session.
