But Jeff London, who's been chairman since the Board of Supervisors declined to reappoint Ray Alcorn six months ago, is up for reappointment this spring.
The Montgomery Board of Supervisors has declined to reappoint its Planning Commission's chairman for the last two years, beginning with former chairman Jacob Edwin Keith in 1992.
London, a Blacksburg resident and director of Mountain Shelter Inc., a nonprofit housing development corporation, has been on the commission since 1990.
He and other planners will be setting the commission's goals for the coming year at next week's meeting.
Among the challenges facing the nine-member planning body is updating the county's zoning regulations and preparing for a 1995 revision of the county's comprehensive plan.
The other commission officers re-elected Wednesday include Malvin Wells, the vice chairman; and Betty Dunn, the secretary.
Wells, a commission veteran whose present term expires in 1997, sells and services recreational vehicles at his business in Lafayette.
Dunn, whose second term ends in 1996, is a homemaker and school bus driver. She is also a licensed practical nurse but is not working in that field. Dunn lives in Lafayette and is the mother of Montgomery School Board member Rebecca Raines.
The Planning Commission is an advisory body whose members are appointed to four-year terms by the elected Board of Supervisors.
Besides London, one other member will be up for reappointment or replacement in May: L. Richard Daub of Blacksburg.
