Commission tables vice‑president appointment until absent commissioner is available

The commission postponed consideration of a vice‑president appointment at the July 22 meeting because the commissioner identified as willing to serve, Travis Crowder, was absent. Commissioner Keith Trout said he had spoken with Crowder and that Crowder would accept the vice‑president role but did not wish to become president; with Crowder absent, President Steve Douglas said the item would be tabled until Crowder could be present.

President Douglas explained the vacancy followed the resignation of Commissioner Bull. City Manager Jerry Bryant clarified that, under Yerington City Code, the mayor appoints members to the planning commission and the city may solicit letters of interest from the public when a vacancy occurs.
