Request to Waive Probationary Period of New City Plan Board Member Adam Tecler (B)
This is a request for the City Commission to waive the probationary period of a new City Plan Board member.
Explanation
Adam Tecler was appointed to the City Plan Board by the City Commission on November 6, 2014 (Legistar No. 140458) for a term that expires on November 1, 2017. Based on the pertinent background described in his application, staff finds that the 60-day probationary period required of new Plan Board members by Sec. 30-353(a) 5a. of the Land Development Code should be waived. Such waiver by the City Commission is allowed by Sec. 30-353(a) 5c., which states that the City Commission may waive the required probationary period for any appointee to the City Plan Board upon good cause shown and entered into the record of the minutes of the City Commission.
Planning staff notes that Mr. Tecler served on the City Plan Board from November 25, 2004 until his resignation on March 26, 2007, which provided him considerable experience as a Plan Board member.
Staff discussed this request with Mr. Tecler, who supports it.
Fiscal Note
None.
Recommendation
The City Commission waive the 60-day probationary period for new Plan Board Member Adam Tecler, in accordance with Sec. 30-353(a) 5c. of the Land Development Code.
