Memorandum

To:

CORTEZ CITY COUNCIL

From:

LINDA SMITH, CITY CLERK

Date:

January 30, 2024

RE:

Appointments to City Advisory Boards

DISCUSSION

Several openings are available on City Advisory Boards and three of the positions may be filled by current Planning and Zoning members. Advertisement for openings on the Board of Adjustment and Appeals has been completed for several months, and there has not been any interest received from the public for the two open seats. The Board of Adjustment and Appeals regulations from Land Use Code Section 6.15 states that the board shall consist of five members who shall be appointed by City Council. Not more than two members may be members of the City Planning Commission. The other three members on the Board of Adjustment and Appeals are at-large members from the community.

One opening is available on the Cortez Historic Preservation Board as the membership consists of seven members, one of which is a Planning and Zoning member (per Land Use Code Section 6.19).

And, one member of the Planning and Zoning Commission has reached his three-year term limit and has applied for re-appointment.

BACKGROUND

Katrina Weiss and Robert Bright, current members of the Planning and Zoning Commission, have submitted letters stating they would be willing to serve on Board of Adjustment and Appeals for a three-year term.

Emily Waldron, current member of the Planning and Zoning Commission, has submitted her letter stating she would be willing to serve on the Cortez Historic Preservation Board for a three-year term.

Jim Skvorc has submitted a letter stating he would be interested in being re-appointed to another three-year term with the Planning and Zoning Commission.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that Council appoint Planning Commissioners Katrina Weiss and Bob Bright to the Board of Adjustment and Appeals for a three-year term; Emily Waldron to the Cortez Historic Preservation Board for a three-year term; and re-appoint Jim Skvorc to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a three-year term.

MOTION

If agreed upon by the City Council, a possible motion would be:

I move that Council appoint Katrina Weiss and Bob Bright to the Board of Adjustment and Appeals for a three-year term; Emily Waldron to the Cortez Historic Preservation Board for a three-year term; and re-appoint Jim Skvorc to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a three-year term.
