We have moved on to the consent agenda. A few things will get some time. Appointing Planning Board members for CU South votes is the first.
Two current members are affiliated with CU and therefore recused: Lisa Smith and Lupita Montoya
Per staff: “An affirmative vote of at least four members is necessary to authorize any action of the board. The planning board’s role in an annexation and initial zoning is to make a recommendation to city council.”
There's actually an official process for when this happens. Two ex-members will be appointed, based on most recent dates of service.
Bryan Bowen (2020) and Crystal Gray (2019) are two most recent members without conflicts of interest (Harmon Zuckerman and Liz Payton both recused themselves)
That's a good mix, politically. Gray is a PLAN person (they've been opposed to the annexation of CU South and involved in a petition to limit what happens here).
Idk what Bowen's views on this project have been, but he's not of the PLAN persuasion, so there will be two different perspectives among those subs.
Will return with council's vote, which I expect to be unanimous, as this is a straightforward process.
As expected, unanimous.
@threadreaderapp please unroll. Thank you!
@threadreaderapp Really should have included more info on the members' affiliation with CU, but things moved so fast!
