JEFFERSON COUNTY
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
To: Board of County Commissioners
Philip Morley, County Administrator
From: Patty Charnas, DCD Director
Date: March 12, 2018
Subject: Planning Commission District 2, and 3 temporary re -appointments
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
The nine -member Jefferson County Planning Commission has 2018 positions that will expire on
March 17, 2018; Lorna Smith of District 2, and Tom Giske of District 3. Both of these members
have indicated they would like to continue serving for another full term. The Department of
Community Development has advertised these expiring terms per standard procedure. While
that procedure concludes, we are respectfully requesting the Board temporarily reappoint Ms.
Smith and Mr. Giske for limited terms until the required open recruitment process is fulfilled.
ANALYSIS
The Planning Commission by-laws specify that any vacancy must be advertised twice in the County's
paper of record to allow any member of the public to apply. If anyone should apply, then DCD staff
will interview the applicants and forward the names of those most qualified for final selection by the
Board. This process will take several weeks or more. In the meantime, the Planning Commission will
be under -represented. DCD proposes that Ms. Smith, and Mr. Giske be reappointed to limited terms
until June 30, 2018, until they or another member of the public is duly appointed.
FISCAL IMPACT/COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
There is no fiscal impact to the County's General Fund for re -appointing of members to serve on
the Planning Commission (PC). There will be minor costs for DCD to advertise the positions. The
2018 DCD and PC Budgets are based on nine (9) PC members and these appointees would serve
as part of the group.
RECOMMENDATION:
Reappoint Ms. Smith, District 2 and Mr. Giske, District 3 the Planning Commission board until June
30, 2018, or until these position terms are duly appointed, whichever comes first.
