Germantown Planning Commission elects 2026 officers

The Germantown Planning Commission elected its 2026 officers at the opening of the January meeting, choosing John McCrory as chair, Dyke Bacon as vice chair and Jennifer Sisson as secretary. Nominations for each post were opened by the presiding official and carried by voice vote.

Commissioner (speaker 2) nominated John McCrory for chair; the nomination was seconded and approved after a voice vote, with an abstention recorded in the minutes. "Thank you for your confidence in me as well," McCrory said after being declared chair. Dyke Bacon was nominated and approved as vice chair; the record notes at least one abstention on that vote as well. Jennifer Sisson, nominated in absentia and later present, was approved unanimously as secretary.

The officers will serve for the calendar year; the commission moved immediately into regular business after the handover to the newly seated chair. Votes for these officer positions were recorded as voice votes in the meeting transcript rather than as a detailed roll call; the meeting minutes should be consulted for the official roll‑call record.
