- Planning Board Appointment
- Submitted For:
- Rebecca Grohall
SUBJECT:
Consideration of Planning Board alternate appointment to fill a vacancy.
SUMMARY:
Ms. Castro has tendered her resignation as a member of the Planning Board and as such, her position needs to be filled. The Code of Ordinances outlines the procedure for moving alternates into regular member seats, Sec. 2-201(b):
Vacancies. Vacancies on any such board, commission and/or committee for the unexpired term of any member thereof who resigns, is removed, or whose chair becomes vacant for any reason prior to the completion of such member's term shall be filled by the alternate member, if any, who has served for the greatest, aggregate, continuous period of time as an alternate. The alternate vacancy thereby created shall be filled for the remainder of such alternate's unexpired term by appointment by the city commission.
A literal interpretation of the Code specifies that the seat shall be filled by the alternate that has served as an alternate for the longest amount of time. In this situation, both alternates to the Board were appointed at the same time. Both Mr. Weaver and Mr. Dahan were appointed to the Board as alternates in February 2014 via Resolution. Mr. Weaver was a regular member prior to being named an Alternate, so his attendance record will indicate for the past year he attended more meetings than Mr. Dahan.
Select an Alternate candidate to replace Planning Board Member Phyliis Castro who has resigned.
