Planning commission cites township and state codes on filling vacancies, plans vice-chair election after membership is filled
Summary
Commissioners cited Leacock Township Code Chapter 34 and the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code when discussing how vacancies should be filled and said the Board of Supervisors will be notified; an internal election for vice-chair will follow once membership is restored.
Commissioners reviewed statutory and township-code guidance after the April 28 meeting recorded a membership vacancy. The minutes cite Leacock Township Code Chapter 34 §34-3 and the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code (Article II, Sections 203(c) and 207) relating to the commission’s duties, notification to the appointing authority, and the election of officers.
Greg Hurst said the Board of Supervisors would be notified and that an election for vice-president (vice-chair) will be held after membership has been filled. The commission did not make an immediate appointment at the meeting; commissioners noted they would follow the procedures set out in the cited code sections.
The Commission’s discussion focused on process rather than substance; no motion to change the commission’s bylaws or a vote on an interim appointment was recorded.
