The Elk Grove City Council on Dec. 9 agreed to open all five seats of the cityâs Planning Commission to any resident who desires to apply. The current planning commissioners were invited to reapply for their seats.
Mayor Bobbie Singh-Allen, in her first regular council meeting as Elk Groveâs new mayor, introduced this proposal.
After the city receives applications, she will propose appointments to the planning commission for council approval on Feb. 10.
In introducing her proposal, Singh-Allen recognized the Planning Commission as a commission that makes important land-use policy decisions that âhelp shape and guide our city.â
With no limits on the length of time a planning commissioner can serve, Singh-Allen said that allowing others to apply for those seats presents âa good opportunity to let others serve.â
