Commissioner Jones has now served in the alternate position <br />for eight months and during this time has provided excellent feedback and dialogue with <br />applicants and other Commissioners. After hearing of the vacancy that was created by the <br />resignation of Samuel Scott, Mr. Jones expressed his interest in becoming a regular member on <br />the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />If the appointment of Mr. Jones is approved he would then fulfill the term that was previously <br />being served by Samuel Scott. The appointment would then leave an opening on the Planning <br />Commission for an alternate member. This vacancy could then be advertised in the upcoming <br />issue of the Arden Hills Notes so that interested residents could apply for this alternate position <br />on the Planning Commission. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />The Planning Commission liaison recommends that the City Council appoint Steven Jones as a <br />regular member of the Planning Commission in order to fill the current vacancy on the <br />Commission.
