New commissioners introduced as Planning Commission fills officer roles

The Shakopee Planning Commission at its March 5 meeting held internal elections for commission officers and welcomed two new commissioners.

During general business the commission nominated Josh Foresight for chair by motion, then proceeded to elect Randy Robbins as vice chair and later transferred the gavel to Mr. Robbins to lead the meeting. Commissioners also nominated Mustafa for second vice chair. That slate was approved by voice vote.

Later in the meeting two newly appointed commissioners introduced themselves. One said, "My name is Collins. I guess I've lived in Shakopee for the past 18 years since I was 4," and thanked the commission for the opportunity to serve. Another said, "My name is Sean, and I've lived here in Shakopee since 2005." The chair and other commissioners welcomed them to the commission.

No formal policy actions were taken during introductions. The meeting adjourned at about 7:35 p.m.
