P&Z chair urges professionalism as Town Council plans to appoint new member
Summary
Chair Malia Collins told commissioners the council intends to appoint Tom Hiserodt at its next Tuesday meeting and urged members to act professionally; commissioners discussed apologies and vote reasoning related to the prior recommendation process.
Malia Collins, chair of the Bluff Planning and Zoning Commission, opened the July 16 work session by expressing disappointment with how the commission's previous recommendation process was handled and urged commissioners to act with professionalism and inclusivity. She said Town Council intends to appoint Tom Hiserodt at the "next Tuesday" meeting and encouraged commissioners to welcome applicants who seek to serve.
Commissioner Marcia Hadenfeldt said her most recent vote reflected concerns about an applicant’s philosophical alignment with the commission’s goals but that she regretted how that concern was communicated and expressed willingness to collaborate. The exchange clarified that commissioners see personnel recommendations as both a vote and a collegial obligation; no formal motion or vote on the vacancy occurred during the work session.
