Ken Robertson, a Planning Board member since 1985 and chairman for the past 16 years, suggested veteran board member Ron Scott-Bey to serve as his successor and the board concurred Thursday.
One of Scott-Bey's first actions as chairman was to change the meeting time from 8 p.m. to 7 p.m. Meetings will still be held on first and third Thursdays in City Hall Library, 515 Watchung Ave. The board will follow up by formally changing its bylaws later.
Among other appointments, William Toth was named vice-chairman, Rosalind Miller will continue as secretary and Peter Vignuolo will be the board attorney. Councilman Cory Storch will be the liaison from the governing body for 2014. Chief of Staff John Stewart was on board as the mayor's designee, but the Class II membership, municipal official, remains vacant after the nomination of Deputy City Administrator for Economic Development Carlos Sanchez was withdrawn at the Jan. 13 agenda-fixing session.
Past member Horace Baldwin attended the meeting, but could not take part, as his nomination for another term has not yet been confirmed. The terms of Sidney Jackson and alternate Willie Faulks expired at the end of 2013, but neither has been nominated for renewal so far.
