After the last

two months of resignations by members of the city's Planning Commission,

the city needs three residents to occupy the empty seats on the commission.

The commission

is currently in limbo, since two members don't constitute a quorum, and

the city is asking all interested residents to apply by Dec. 21.

City Attorney

Drew Whalen said the city still has two plats that have to be reviewed

Mayor-elect

Dianne Cleveland said the Dec. 21 deadline should enable the council to

review applications and vote on at least one seat by the Jan. 7 council

meeting.

If the council

appoints at least one member Jan. 7, the new Planning Commission could

meet Jan. 15 to review the two pending plats and send them to the City

Council for review in February.
