The Hollywood Planning and Development Board convened on August 12, 2025, at 11:00 AM. The meeting began with elections for chair, vice chair, and secretary, followed by approval of minutes and consideration of multiple development applications, including a contentious affordable housing project (Hillcrest Village) that drew significant public opposition. The board also received an update on changes to the development review process.
The board elected Joseph Stadlin as Chair, Stephen Morales as Vice Chair, and Bob Glickman as Secretary, all by unanimous roll call votes.
Thousand and twenty-five. I think we are ready to commence this meeting of planning and development board. Can I get a confirmation from my board clerks that we are ready to go and we are recording? On today's agenda, which is the elections for chair, vice chair, and secretary. Once the chair is elected, I will relinquish responsibility as chair, and the the board will proceed as normal. Our first order of business is Pledge of Allegiance. So if we can all rise. I'm a longtime resident of uh Hollywood, 25 years in downtown. And I'm looking for a successful term. Thank you. Thank you, Christine. So with that, we can move on to elections. For everyone's benefit, those in the audience and board members yourselves. Today we are electing all three positions. We are electing chair. The chair is responsible for maintaining decorum amongst the board as well as the audience and adhering to Robert's rules in the way that motions are made and presented. Their responsibilities also include introducing items following the agenda. And then when the time comes for um signing the resolutions for the approved resolutions following a decision of the planning and development board, they're expected to meet our legal representative Dina Kapp over there in the corner. Wave Dina, just for everyone in the audience. Um to ensure that all decisions that are are written within the resolution are accurate and true to form. The next position that we will be electing will be the vice chair. The vice chair has a lot of the responsibilities of the chair. However, they're only really enacted if the chair is absent. So they would assume the role as chair in the event that the chair is absent, or if the chair is required to recuse themselves for any conflict of interest or perceived conflict of interest. And the last position that we have is the secretary. The secretary is who we rely on to confirm minutes if if staff has some issues in recounting the events of uh the previous board or the previous meeting, and they are also responsible for meeting Dina to ensure that the resolutions are true to form based off of the decisions that are made, as well as signing those resolutions to that effect. So assuming that nobody has any questions, we will start our election process. Again, just because currently we have no positions elected, we will be starting with the chair. And once the chair is elected, I will relinquish the interim responsibility as board chair, and it will be resumed by the newly elected chair to elect vice chair as well as secretary, and then following the rest of the agenda. I'd like to nominate Joseph Stadlin as chair. So we have a second. I think at this point we entertain the motion and you know uh we vote on Joseph Stadlin as chair. I recommend a roll call. Roll call vote has been requested. Bob Glickman? Yes. Let's see. Stephen Morales? Yes. Richard Blattner? Yes. Joseph Stadlin? Yes. Christine Corbo? Yes. Odallas Delgado? Yes. Yes. So with that, the motion passes. Congratulations, Joseph.
