BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Brent Butler, Department of Community Development(DCD)Director
DATE: March 13, 2023
RE: Planning Commission District Temporary Appointments
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
The nine-member Jefferson County Planning Commission(PC) has two appointed positions that will
expire on March 17, 2023; Kevin Coker of District 1 and LD Richert of District 2. Both of these
appointed members have indicated they would like to continue serving for another full term. DCD
recommends that these two members be reappointed for limited terms until the required open
recruitment process is fulfilled.
ANALYSIS
The PC 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 of County
Commissioners. This process will take several weeks or more. In the meantime,the Planning
Commission will be under-staffed. DCD proposes that Mr. Richert, and Mr. Coker be reappointed to
limited terms until June 30, 2023 or until 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-appointment of members to serve on the
PC. There will be minor costs for DCD to advertise the positions. The 2023 DCD and PC budgets are
based on nine (9)PC members and these appointees would serve as part of the group.
RECOMMENDATION•
Reappoint both PC member representatives on the Planning Commission board until June 30, 2023, or
until new members are duly appointed.
