MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Tuesday,March 15,2021 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> McCutcheon stated they are still friends. <br /> Libby said the Council let him stay the whole meeting. <br /> 11.PLANNING COMMISSION CHAIR/VICE CHAIR ELECTIONS <br /> Barnhart said the Chair and Vice Chair positions generally rotate every two years. The present two-year <br /> term for Chair Ressler and Vice Chair Erickson expire after this month. Barnhart is looking for individuals <br /> interested in leaving the Commission to volunteer and the Commission moving and seconding a nomination <br /> as a recommendation to the City Council. The Council would confirm the proposal or put their own in <br /> front of the Commission, similar to how they do recommendations now. Barnhart believes three of the <br /> Commissioner's terms expire at the end of March: Mr. Ressler, Mr. Erickson,and Mr.Libby. He will put <br /> their names back on for Council reinstatement at the March 29,2021 meeting. <br /> Ressler is not going to nominate or vote because of the vacating Chair,he does not want to skew any votes, <br /> and thinks it is a strange thing because all of the people on this Commission are certainly valuable for this <br /> position. Ressler opened the floor for nominations or volunteers. <br /> Libby moved to nominate Kirchner for the new Chair. <br /> Kirchner accepted the nomination and thanked Libby for nominating him. <br /> Erickson seconded the nomination of Kirchner for the new Chair. <br /> Bollis moved to nominate Ressler for Vice Chair. <br /> Ressler accepted the nomination. <br /> VOTE: Ayes: 6,Nays: 0,Abstain 1 (Ressler). <br /> Ressler congratulated Kirchner and knows the Commission will be in great hands. He appreciates the <br /> recommendations and thinks all of their contributions have been appreciated, clearly by the Council's <br /> feedback and he looks forward to continuing in the future. He thanked them all for serving. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> Gettman moved, Libby seconded, to adjourn the Planning Commission Meeting. VOTE: Ayes 7, <br /> Nays 0. <br /> The Orono Planning Commission meeting adjourned at 9:25 p.m. <br /> ATTEST:StkPlk ^ <br /> ,vr(1` <br /> Scott Kirc , Chair <br /> Page 34 of 34 <br />
