Boise Mayor Lauren McLean nominated three commissioners for Boise’s Planning and Zoning Commission: Chris Blanchard, Ashley Ford-Squyers and Jennifer Mohr. The City Council approved the nominations Tuesday, Feb. 25.
McLean also proposed a policy to stop bringing any new business before a city commission after 9:30 p.m. In the past, evening meetings have gone later than midnight on occasion. McLean would have the commission move any remaining business, including deliberation or additional testimony, to the next scheduled commission hearing date.
McLean said she plans to meet with members of the city’s boards and commissions in March and carry out changes as soon as April.
