Planning Commission has no agenda; reviews permit ordinance and fields candidate interest

Interest in open seats was reported from Ben Mitchell, Dan Buckway, and Hal Torman; staff discussed changing the chair-appointment process to require mayoral advice-and-consent.
Planning Commission Chair Deb Wickizer told staff there is no formal agenda this month but staff are reviewing commercial-area conditions and intend to update the city's permit ordinance. The commission discussed how new leadership is chosen: current ordinance allows the planning commission to appoint a new planning chair, and staff considered revising the process to add advice-and-consent with final approval by the mayor.
Staff also recorded interest from three residents—Ben Mitchell, Dan Buckway, and Hal Torman—in open Planning Commission positions. The discussion did not include a timetable for appointments or any formal application details.
