Clerk warns two appointments lapsed; commission advised to use consensus to avoid challenge

Apr 2, 2026

County clerk told the commission two member appointments had lapsed and recommended the commission adopt its letter by consensus rather than a standard voice vote to reduce risk of legal challenge; staff will notify the county administrator and the Board of Supervisors is expected to reappoint the members at its next meeting.

The full story

The commission’s clerk informed members that two planning-commission appointments had not been formally reappointed and recommended the commission avoid a standard voice vote to reduce the risk anything taken this evening could be challenged. The clerk said the board’s typical appointment-tracking mechanism had not flagged the lapse and that staff would notify the county administrator so the Board of Supervisors could address reappointments at their next meeting.
