Consent Agenda
JEFFERSON COUNTY
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
To: Board of County Commissioners
Mark McCauley, County Administrator
From: Josh D. Peters, Community Development Director
Joel Peterson, Associate Planner
Date: March 11, 2024
Subject: Planning Commission District 1 Re-appointment of Ahren Stroming
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
On October 23, 2023, the Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) appointed Ahren Stroming to
a District 1 seat, filling the last five months of an unexpired term. Mr. Stroming's first Planning
Commission meeting was on November 1, 2023. Per the Board action on October 23, 2023, Mr.
Stroming is eligible for reappointment. Commissioner Stroming has indicated that he would like
to continue serving for another term. The Department of Community Development(DCD)
recommends that this Planning Commission member be reappointed for a new term.
ANALYSIS
The Planning Commission by-laws specify that when a vacated seat is filled, the appointee serves out
the remainder of the term and is then eligible for reappointment. The Board anticipated reappointing
Mr. Stroming in October to a full 4-year term, which would run from March 17, 2024 through March
16, 2028.
FISCAL IMPACT/COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
There is no fiscal impact to the County's General Fund for re-appointing a member to serve on
the Planning Commission (PC). The 2024 DC and PC budgets are based on nine (9) PC members
and this appointee would serve as part of that group.
RECOMMENDATION:
DCD recommends that the Board reappoint Planning Commission member Ahren Stroming of District
1 to the Planning Commission for a full 4-year term, which would run from March 17, 2024 through
March 16, 2028.
