Johnson County supervisors review two vacancies on zoning board of adjustment

Christopher H., communications assistant, told the Johnson County Board of Supervisors at a work session that "2 vacancies exist for persons living in unincorporated Johnson County." He said one vacancy is a five‑year term beginning Jan. 1, 2025, and expiring Dec. 31, 2029, and the other begins Jan. 1, 2025, and expires Dec. 31, 2025.

"There are 0 people to, consider for reappointments, and there are 2 new applicants," Christopher H. said, adding that one listed applicant was Ashley Platts. He explained the shorter vacancy resulted after a member who had been reappointed emailed Planning and Development Services on the Thursday after the board's vote saying they could no longer serve. As one supervisor put it during the session: "After we voted to reappoint him. He said I can't do it anymore."

Christopher H. said the appointments will appear on next week’s formal meeting agenda and that staff will send an email to supervisors with details ahead of that meeting. No formal vote or appointment was recorded during the work session.

The board did not identify reappointment candidates and indicated it would review the two new applicants and take formal action at the upcoming meeting.
