Two Cordova planning commissioners finish their service, leaving two seats open

Sarah Trumblee and Sean Den Adel attended their last meeting as Cordova Planning Commission members Tuesday, leaving two of the commission's seven seats open.

Three seats are coming open, a speaker told commissioners, but Commissioner Gail Foode plans to apply again for hers. "If anybody has friends or anyone, send them our way," the speaker said.

The city is taking applications for the Planning Commission and four other boards, and the City Council plans to make appointments in December. The commission reviews land matters such as subdivision plats and makes recommendations to the council.

Den Adel said he had enjoyed working with the other commissioners. "I would consider doing this again in the future, but right now I just got a lot of other things on my plate," he said, adding that he hopes community members are willing to step up.

Trumblee thanked city staff. "I've learned a lot," she said.
