The Charlottesville City Council finally filled a vacancy on the Planning Commission last month by naming a former member of the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority.
Betsy Roettger is a lecturer at the University of Virginia School of Architecture and served two terms on the CRHA Board of Commissioners. According to her bio, she “teaches both graduate and undergraduate design studios and seminar courses in the Departments of Architecture and Urban and Environmental Planning.”
Roettger fills the vacancy created when Liz Russell resigned last June. Her term expires on August 31 as does the term of Commissioner Lyle Solla-Yates.
Council also made the following appointments:
- Addison Barnhardt and James Cauthen were reappointed to the Economic Development Authority. Both had terms set to expire on March 31.
- Julie Basic was appointed to the Historic Resources Committee.
- Charley Burton was appointed to the Human Rights Commission.
- Richard Brugh. John D’Earth, and Elayne Phillips were named to the JABA Board of Directors
“There’s still a lot of other openings but we really appreciate individuals willing to volunteer and give back to that community in that manner,” said Mayor Juandiego Wade.
