Members of the Town of Selma Appearance Commission discussed their 2025 project list on Dec. 16 and identified updating the commission’s bylaws to enable subcommittees and clarify committee membership as an early priority.
Dr. McCoy said changing the bylaws to allow committees and specify limits on committee membership should come first. He recommended enabling committees such as a “Yard of the Month” committee and setting a rule that no more than two commissioners serve on any community committee to avoid quorum issues. Commissioners discussed assigning commissioners to draft lists of projects and inviting additional citizens to serve on committees.
Staff told the commission it would prepare an adjusted bylaw draft in January for the commission to review, and that staff would then present the commission’s project list and proposed bylaw changes to town council to obtain direction. The commission did not take a final vote to adopt bylaw language at the meeting; staff was directed to prepare the draft language and bring it back for commission review.
