The Planning Commission held elections for its officers on April 8 in a process outgoing Chair Claire Hempel remarked “went much more smoothly” than the previous year’s elections. All four positions ultimately went uncontested, and the resolution appointing the new officers was approved unanimously. Replacing Hempel as chair is outgoing Vice Chair Awais Azhar; replacing Azhar as vice chair is outgoing Parliamentarian Alice Woods; replacing Woods as parliamentarian is Commissioner Casey Haney; and replacing outgoing Secretary Greg Anderson is Commissioner Felicity Maxwell.
