Marion County planning commission swears in members and adopts board of zoning appeals bylaws
The Marion County Planning Commission administered oaths to newly appointed and reappointed officials and adopted bylaws for the Board of Zoning Appeals.

Staff administered the oath to Dax Kennedy for the Board of Zoning Appeals (2026–28) and swore in planning commission members Jason Gan (District 1), David Wheeler (District 2), Brandy Smith (District 3), Brad/ Brian/ Greg Gorsuch (District 4, name variants appear in the transcript), Josh Wiser (District 5) and Evan Yoder (at-large). Each appointee repeated the prescribed oath and signed the paperwork.

The commission reviewed redline and clean copies of the proposed bylaws, which reflect edits since the February 2020 version. A motion was made to adopt the bylaws as presented; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.

Records: staff collected signed oaths and will file the adopted bylaws in the planning department’s administrative record. No substantive policy changes were made in these procedural items; the commission moved next to substantive text amendments and the comprehensive-plan work session.
