Board elects leadership; staff seeks volunteers for zoning and subdivision code overhaul
Summary
The board elected members to leadership positions and staff announced a planned 12–16 month overhaul of zoning and subdivision ordinances, inviting volunteers while board members raised conflict-of-interest concerns for quasi‑judicial participants.
The board nominated and voted to elect board leadership. Nominations were moved and seconded; members voted in favor of Wiesong as chair, Thomas as vice chair, and Finkelstein for the remaining named position. The votes were recorded as ayes with no opposition noted.
Separately, staff announced a planned comprehensive overhaul of the zoning and subdivision ordinances (last substantially created in 2012) that is expected to take 12 to 16 months and include working sessions and public meetings. Staff asked for volunteers from the board to serve on the drafting effort; some board members expressed concern about a potential conflict of interest because this board acts in a quasi‑judicial capacity. The board agreed to consider the request and follow up with staff.
