Duda offered his own slate of appointees during the first public comment session.
He said at the second public comment session that he was disappointed in the choices of the board because two members of the planning commission have wind contracts: Pat Weber and Ken Weber.
He had urged the board not to put anyone with contracts onto the planning commission.
“If you appoint someone with a contract, you might as well put the fox in the hen house,” Duda said.
Trustee John Wisneski noted that the planning commission will not just deal with wind energy.
“It’s not just for the windmills. It’s for everything,” he said.
The board voted to opt out of Huron County’s zoning jurisdiction, and form its own planning commission last summer, but it was challenged by referendum vote.
That May 2 vote turned out in favor of establishing the commission.
