Fresh off of one regular and three runoff elections, the Peninsula Community Planning Board (PCPB) now has to fill a vacant seat. The planning board is accepting applications for the vacancy, which will be filled at the next regular meeting on Thursday, June 17. Rhe resignation of current board member Matthew Sanicki was announced at the May 20 PCPB meeting. Sanicki\u2019s term expires in 2012. “My office hours have increased on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and I am not able to attend monthly meetings. I feel that without attending the meetings I cannot voice my opinions or that of my fellow community members,” Sanicki wrote in a letter to PCPB Chair Charles Mellor on May 11. Following an extended debate at last month\u2019s meeting between PCPB members and community members about how to handle filling the vacancy \u2014including numerous interpretations of the board\u2019s bylaws \u2014 the board voted 6-4 to fill the vacancy by appointment rather than with another special election. In accordance with its bylaws, the PCPB must fill a vacancy within 120 days from the time it is acknowledged. As a result, the board voted May 20 to fill the position during the June 17 meeting. Applications are now being accepted to fill the vacancy. Applicants must be at least 18 years old and a Peninsula property owner, resident or have a local business address. They must also have attended one PCPB meeting Applications are available at www.pcpb.net or by calling (619) 222-2400. They must be presented to Mellor or PCPB Secretary John Gott by noon on Wednesday, June 16. Each of the candidates will be given five minutes to speak at the June meeting and more information can be found on the PCPB\u2019s website. In a related matter, the PCPB elected chairs for each of its subcommittees at the May meeting and created a new Form-Based Code Committee, which will be chaired by Jay Shumaker. New board members elected as subcommittee chairs included Patricia Clark (Parks and Recreation, P3), Robert MacCulloch (Airport) and Gott (Environment).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
