Bryan Chapman appointed to Saratoga Springs Planning Commission March 26, 2017, 7:46 amChapman has lived the American dream in his career at Above Training, Inc., an online training company that also specializes in state food safety. But Chapman said the timing was right for him to follow his family's legacy now and become more involved in giving back to his community. He referenced an uncle in California who is fully involved in county politics and an admiration for his grandmother's political involvement as well. Chapman was raised with a belief in serving one's community. His feeling of responsibility as a citizen of the city is what pushed him to pursue public service, and he believes he was appointed because of his understanding of the neutral role a planning commissioner must have. "The role of planning commissioner is to ensure the issue at hand meets with city code and ordinance," Chapman said. "We make recommendations based on city code, and the decisions and the politics are left to the city council. It is not glamourous." Indeed, his highest priorities as a member of the planning commission are to ensure city code is met and to remain neutral as to any political opinion on matters addressed. But what is recommended to city council by the commission surely makes a big difference in what is decided. Bryan Chapman feels very fortunate to be selected, and he encourages others to take action in the community. "It's easy to complain about issues in the community," Chapman said, "but a real difference is made when you get involved." He challenges all citizens to take action to help the city continue to be a great place to live as it continues its incredible growth.
