Stacy Saltzburg, Deputy City Clerk

TITLE:

Consideration of Appointments:  Planning and Zoning Commission.

STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Make one appointment to a term expiring December 2018.
Make two appointments to terms expiring December 2020.

Executive Summary:

The Planning and Zoning Commission consists of seven citizen members, and serves as an advisory board to the Council on matters relating to the growth and physical development of the City. The commission also conducts hearings on amendments to the Zoning Map, tentative subdivision plats, and Development Review Board appeals. There is currently one seat available. It is important to fill vacancies on Boards and Commissions quickly so as to allow the Commission to continue meeting on a regular basis.

There are eight applications currently on file, they are as follows:

Paul Deasy (new applicant)
Marie Jones (current commissioner)
Moses Milazzo (new applicant)
Adam Shimoni (new applicant)
Edward Talkington (new applicant)
Jeffrey Taylor (new applicant)
Jesse von Gluck (new applicant)

In an effort to reduce exposure to personal information the applicant roster and applications will be submitted to the City Council separately.

Council Appointment Assignment: Councilmember Overton, Vice Mayor Whelan and Councilmember Putzova
 

Financial Impact:

These are voluntary positions and there is no budgetary impact to the City of Flagstaff.

Policy Impact:

None

Connection to Council Goal, Regional Plan and/or Team Flagstaff Strategic Plan:

There is no Council goal that specifically addresses appointments to Boards and Commissions; however, boards and commissions do provide input and recommendations based on City Council goals that may pertain to the board or commission work plan.

Has There Been Previous Council Decision on This:

Options and Alternatives:

1) Appoint three Commissioners; by appointing Commissioners at this time, the Planning and Zoning Commission will be at full membership, allowing the group to meet and provide recommendations to the City Council.
2) Table the action to allow for further discussion or expand the list of candidates.

Community Involvement:

The City's boards, commissions, and committees were created to foster public participation and input and to encourage Flagstaff citizens to take an active role in city government.

Expanded Options and Alternatives:

INFORM: The vacancies are posted on the City's website and individual recruitment and mention of the opening by Board members and City staff has occurred, informing others of these vacancies through word of mouth.
