(KMZA)--The Nemaha County Commission has delayed the establishment of a planning commission for a least another week.
Commissioners at their regular meeting on Monday announced they had come up with eight of nine people to serve on the commission that will help develop a comprehensive plan for the county.
Commission Chairman Tim Burdiek said he still needed to find one more member from his district.
Keith Marvin with Marvin Planning Consultants, who was hired to develop the comprehensive plan, asked commissioners to come with three names each from their districts for appointment to the 9-member board.
Commissioners decided to hold off on naming the members selected until the ninth member is chosen and resolution approved establishing the planning commission.
Initially they will serve staggered terms of one, two or three years.
The planning board will meet every four to six weeks. At their first meeting, they will elect a chair, vice-chair and secretary.
The Commission will hold their regular meeting next week on Tuesday, due to the Labor Day holiday.
