Planning commissioner is removed

(Park Record) County councilpersons have voted unanimously to remove Francis resident KayCee Simpson from the Eastern Summit County Planning Commission, the panel that holds influence on development matters on the East Side.

Simpson violated the attendance policy for planning commissioners by missing three meetings within three months, according to Summit County Council Chairwoman Claudia McMullin. McMullin was a member of the Snyderville Basin Planning Commission before she became a councilperson in 2009.

"It was one of my big goals to make sure that planning commissioners have better attendance," McMullin told Simpson Wednesday in Coalville. "It's nothing personal, KayCee."

Planning commissioners will risk losing their posts if they miss three meetings in three months, she explained.

"We are going to enforce the policy," McMullin said. "Once you miss three we are going to boot you from the Planning Commission."

But the attendance policy is unclear to most East Side planning commissioners, Simpson replied.
