5. Staff Report-Chair and Vice Chair
Staff Report
Date of Meeting: March 2, 2021
To: Planning Commission
From: Brenda Eklund, City Clerk
Re: Chair and Vice Chair Appointments
Background:
The City’s Code of Ordinances, Section 30.08 Advisory Committees and Commissions, provides
for the Planning Commission to appoint a Chairperson and Vice Chairperson of the Planning
Commission from among the members of the Commission for a 1-year term, subject to
approval by the Council. This was on the February 2, 2021 agenda, but tabled by the
Commission until all members could be present. Dan Squyres will serve as Acting Chair until a
Chair is elected.
Issue:
Who should the Commission recommend for Chair and Vice Chair for the period from February,
2021 through January, 2022?
Proposal Details:
Dan Squyres was the Chair in 2017-20 and Travis Loeffler the Vice Chair in 2019-20. There are
no limits on how long a person may serve in those positions. Any member of the Planning
Commission would be eligible for the positions.
Fiscal Impact:
Compensation for the Chair is $300/quarter. The Vice Chair receives the same $250/quarter as
the rest of the commission members.
Recommendation:
Make a recommendation on Chair and Vice Chair for 2021 to the City Council. The
recommendation will be considered by the Council at their March 16th meeting.
