It did not take much for the City of Susanville to abolish its Planning Commission. On May 21, 2025, the City Council passed a resolution to  make a commission  a relic of the past. The Council will now serve in that role.

For me, personally, it sends a mixed message. On the one hand the City is seeking ways for economic development, yet, by getting. rid of the commission on the face of it, the City is less optimistic for its future growth.

For the record the Planning Commission was established on June 13, 1921. The first members were L.R. Cady, C.E. Emerson, J.J. Woodward, F.H. Bangham and R.M. Cook.
