“These citizens would represent the broad interests of the public while serving in an advisory capacity to the board of county commissioners,” a Tuesday news release stated. “The Planning and Zoning Commission offers the public an opportunity to make an impact on local decision-making by providing recommendations directly to the appropriate decision-makers.”
