of the Council shall recommend a representative to the various Commissions, Boards
and Committees, subject to the approval by a majority vote of the Council. All
Commission, Board, and Committee Members serve at the pleasure of the Council.

An unscheduled vacancy has occurred on the Planning Commission due to a
resignation by Jennifer Martin effective June 17, 2014. The term for this seat expires
January 31, 2017. A Notice of Vacancy was posted at City Hall and on the City's
website. Lan George, who is currently serving on the Architectural Review Committee,
has submitted an application for the vacant Planning Commission seat.
Council Member Barneich has recommended the Planning Commission vacancy be
filled by Lan George. Since Ms. George currently serves on the Architectural Review
Committee (ARC), if appointed to the Planning Commission, she will automatically
