ELECTION OF PLANNING COMMISSION OFFICERS AND PLANNING COMMISSION MEMBER OF THE WINDOVER HEIGHTS BOARD OF REVIEW

Body
Election of Officers
On December 14, 2022, the Planning Commission updated its Bylaws and Rules of Procedure to allow for the election of officers to occur each December for the following year. The purpose of this change was to facilitate a smooth transition for a new Chair and/or Vice-Chair, to start fresh in January.

Planning Commission Bylaws and Rules of Procedure
Section II - Election of Officers

B. A candidate receiving a majority vote shall be declared elected. The new Chair shall take office at the first regular meeting in January and serve for one year or until a successor shall take office. The Chair shall be elected annually and may serve more than one term; however, the Commission should strive to periodically rotate or select a new Chair to accommodate the normal turnover and perpetual nature of the Commission.

The current Planning Commission Chair and Vice Chair, Jessica Plowgian and Matthew Glassman, respectively, were elected as officers at the meeting of December 13, 2023, to serve during 2024. Chair Plowgian also served as Chair in 2023.

The December 11, 2024, meeting is an opportunity for the Commission to elect its Chair and Vice Chair for 2025, which would be consistent with the Bylaws and Rules of Procedure.

Staff recommends that each officer be selected through an individual motion for each of the two positions.
