Subject: RE: Planning Commission
Pam:
Upon reviewing a calendar for February 2O25, as well asconsulting the precise language Monroe County Land
Development Code Section 102-20(d)(3\ set forth, the expiration of the Planning Commission terms for David Ritz and
George Neugent should be no later than February 19, 2025 (the anticipated date of the February 2O25BD[[ meeting\.
The backup information included in items 0-1 and 0-2 contained scriveners errors.
Section 102-20(d) addresses planning commission membership, appointment, removal, terms and vacancies. Paragraph
/3\ reads: All appointments shall terminate upon replacement by a county commissioner with another person
appointed and approved by the BOCC. Confirmation of existing appointments or nominations for new appointments by
all county commissioners elected in the fall of each election year shall be made by those commissioners at or before the
regular monthly meeting of the BOCC in February of each year following an election year. If such ratification or
appointment does not take place, the respective Planning Commission seat shall be deemed vacant. Terms of the
Planning Commission appointments shall be from their appointment dates until replaced or terminated. Planning
commission members serving asof August 1, 2OO9 shall besubject to the provision of this subsection and shall serve
until replaced as described above, whether filling out the term ofa previously appointed member orserving their own
terms.
Since the District 3 and District seats are next scheduled to be up for election in 2024, the two planning commission
appointments should expire not later February of2O25. Df course, each County Commissioner reserves the right to
replace his planning commission appointee prior tothat.
