REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
To: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
From: Damaris Abraham, Planning Manager
Date: July 19, 2022
Subject: Annual Reorganization of the Planning Commission to Select the Chair and
Vice-Chair
Recommendation
Select a Chair and Vice-Chair pursuant to City Council Policy No. 200-5A until July 2023.
Background
City Council Policy No. 200-5A.G provides direction regarding the selection of the Chair and Vice-
Chair for the Planning Commission. The Chair and Vice Chair of the Planning Commission shall
be selected upon establishment and in July of each year thereafter by a majority of the members
and shall serve for one year or until their successors are selected. The Commission may annually
rotate its Chair.
Discussion
The procedural format for the selection of the Chair and Vice-Chair is for the current Chair to yield
the chair to the Secretary who will open the floor for nominations. Nominations do not require a
second although “seconding comments” are permitted. Upon a Planning Commission Member
nomination, the Secretary will call for any further nominations. The Secretary will close the
nomination process when no additional nominations are made.
Upon closing the nominations and taking a vote, the Secretary will declare the Planning
Commission Member selected to serve as Chair by majority vote. The newly selected Chair will
assume the chair and will preside over the selection of a Vice-Chair.
