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. The Planning Commission reviews development projects and zoning changes throughout the city, so this appointment will help restore the commission to full strength. 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.
