Subject:
Appointment to the vacant seat on the Victorville Planning Commission Recommendation:
That Your Honorable City Council consider appointing Terrance Stone to the Victorville Planning Commission as recommended by Mayor Becerra.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
Background:
At the City Council meeting of September 2, 2025, it was moved by Mayor Becerra, with unanimous approval to agendize an item for discussion and possible action to appoint a representative to the Planning Commission as we had been notified that Commissioner Kurth would be resigning from the Planning Commission due to him moving out of Victorville.
On September 5, 2025, Rob Kurth submitted his formal letter of resignation for his seat on the Victorville Planning Commission. As required by Government Code Section 54974, a notice of unscheduled vacancy was posted on September 8, 2025. That posting allows the City Council to take action to fill this vacancy 10-days after posting of the notice.
Pursuant to Victorville Municipal Code Section 2.12.030 vacancies shall be filled by appointment for the unexpired portion of the term. Being that Mr. Kurth was Mayor Becerra’s appointee, the unexpired term would be through December 2028.
On October 7, 2025, the City Council considered the appointment of Kenneth Lutz to the vacant position on the Victorville Planning Commission. At that time, Council denied the request to appoint Mr. Lutz to the Planning Commission. At the meeting of November 4, 2025, it was moved by Mayor Becerra, with unanimous approval to agendize an item for discussion and possible action to appoint a representative to the Planning Commission. 4 3
