Wilton Manors’ Planning and Zoning Board (P&Z) will be making big decisions soon regarding the city’s future. After making several new appointments in April, two more were made during the city commission meeting on June 13.

Technically, there was only one vacancy, which was created by Jude Bellinger. He resigned due to a possible conflict of interest, stemming from his involvement with a community group representing businesses on Wilton Drive.

As the board’s alternate, Scott McCoy has been participating until the commission could appoint a new full member. During the meeting, the commission voted to have him finish Bellanger’s term, creating a new vacancy for the alternate position.

Remaining candidates, who had applied for the original job, were considered for the alternate. Louis Izquierdo was chosen over William Hayden and Mike Sansevero.

Parks and Recreation

The commission also filled four scheduled vacancies on the Parks and Recreation board. Because only four candidates applied, all four were chosen to fill the positions. The new members are Roger Cruttenden, George DeFrance, Charles Higgins, and Dylan Salem.

None of the members on expiring terms reapplied.
