ZAP elects slate of officers, goes home
Wednesday, October 8, 2014 by Tyler Whitson
The Zoning and Platting Commission elected officers Tuesday night. Starting next year, Commissioner Rahm McDaniel will be known as Assistant Secretary of ZAP. The commission also re-elected Chair Betty Baker, Parliamentarian Gabriel Rojas, Secretary Cynthia Banks and Vice Chair Patricia Seeger. Banks made the nomination at Tuesday’s meeting, Rojas seconded and the vote was unanimous. McDaniel was not inclined to make a speech regarding his new position, though he did appear flattered. Baker followed the discussion by asking if the commissioners would like to go home. They agreed and did.
