Subject: Approval to move an Alternate Member to a Regular Member Seat on the Planning and
Zoning Commission.
Background Summary:
On May 15, 2018, the City Commission adopted an Ordinance which amended Section 3-2 and Section 3-3 of the
City of Ocoee Land Development Code, it amended the establishment and membership of the Planning and Zoning
Commission, abolished the Board of Adjustment, revised the duties of the Planning and Zoning Commission, and
incorporated the rules from Ordinance 89-19 into the Code. On December 3, 2019, the City Commission adopted
an Ordinance which amended Section 3-2, Subsection A of the Land Development Code adding one (1) alternate
member.
On February 11, 2020, Planning & Zoning Commission Member Rodger Wunderlich resigned from the board
leaving a vacant regular member seat. Upon his resignation, Alternate Member Lou Forges asked staff to be
considered for the vacant regular member seat. Since his appointment, Alternate Member Forges has attended all
meetings. Past practice for boards with alternate members has been to appoint the alternate member to the vacant
regular member seat for the remainder of the vacancy.
If approved, the alternate vacant seat on the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be filled by a majority vote of
the City Commission from the candidates nominated by the Mayor and City Commissioners. The Mayor and each
member of the City Commission may nominate up to two (2) nominees each to the City Clerk by Friday, March 27,
2020. The highest-ranked nominee will be considered to fill the alternate vacant seat at the April 7, 2020 City
Commission meeting.
Issue:
Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners consider moving Alternate Member Lou Forges to the vacant
regular member seat with a term expiring June 2021?
Recommendations:
Staff recommends the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners move Alternate Member Lou Forges to the
vacant regular member seat with a term expiring June 2021, and the City Commission should forward their
nominations for the vacant alternate member seat to the City Clerk before March 27, 2020.
