Title
Election of Chair for June 24, 2026, Planning Commission Meeting
Body
OVERVIEW:
For the June 24, 2026, Planning Commission meeting, both the Chair and the Vice Chair are unable to attend. As such, as a first order of business, the Planning Commission needs to select a Chair to facilitate the meeting.
As the elected Chair normally opens the meeting, the question was raised as to who would be eligible to open the meeting. Staff consulted with the Town Clerk, who reviewed Roberts’ Rules of Order and responded that there are two options for the person who would open the meeting: 1) the Commission member with the longest tenure, or 2) the Clerk to the Commission.
Staff therefore spoke with Commissioner Miller, who has the longest tenure among current Planning Commissioners. Commissioner Miller indicated that he would be willing to open the meeting and facilitate a vote to elect a Chair for the meeting.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission elect a Chair for the June 24, 2026, meeting.
PROPOSED SUGGESTED MOTION:
Recommended Action
“I move that {Commissioner in Attendance} serve as Chair of the June 24, 2026, Planning Commission meeting.
