Why This Vote Matters
Willie Lee Hicks Jr. was appointed to fill a vacant seat on the Planning Commission in a divided 4-3 vote, with Councilmembers Choi, Martinez, and Willis dissenting.

Hicks will serve the remainder of an unexpired term that ends June 30, 2020. This was a routine appointment to fill a vacancy, though the split vote suggests some disagreement among council members about the choice of appointee.
