Casey Greer elected chair as commission reshuffles officers
Summary
At its Feb. 3 meeting, the Onancock Planning Commission voted to name Casey Greer chair and Paul Weitzel vice chair after an initial nomination for Jim McGowan was declined; the vote was taken by roll call and the meeting was turned over to Greer.
The Onancock Planning Commission voted during its Feb. 3 meeting to install Casey Greer as chair and Paul Weitzel as vice chair after an early nomination for Jim McGowan was declined.
Sydney Holdren opened discussion by nominating Jim McGowan for chair "since he is our most knowledgeable member about the planning process and planning commissions in general," but McGowan declined. The body then nominated Casey Greer for chair and Paul Weitzel for vice chair; a roll-call vote followed and members recorded a series of "aye" votes and one abstention. After the vote, Greer assumed the chair and continued the meeting.
The change in leadership came early on the agenda; commissioners did not attach conditions to the appointments during the meeting. The transcript records multiple commissioners pressing for training and clearer onboarding for newer members before taking on broader responsibilities. The commission did not record any subsequent amendments to the officer roles during the session.
The vote was conducted by roll call at the meeting. The motion to elect officers was moved from the floor, seconded, and carried. The commission then proceeded to business under the new chair.
