Planning commission appointment brought up again at meeting
The Glencoe City Council meeting got off to a bit of a rough start Tuesday, Jan. 17.
After a motion and second to approve the consent agenda, which consisted of the approval of seven building permits, the Jan. 3 meeting minutes and a tobacco license renewal for Family Dollar, Council Member Allen Robeck said he had a problem with the appointment of former council member Kevin Dietz to the City’s planning commission.
Dietz was appointed to the planning commission on a 4-1 vote at the Jan. 3 meeting based on a unanimous recommendation by the planning commission. He was the only applicant for the position, which had been open for a year.
Robeck said that the motions were confusing and he still feels that the appointment goes against the city’s charter.
