City Council approves multiple board and commission appointments including diversity task force members

The Tiburon Town Council convened for its regular meeting on March 5, 2025, to address various agenda items, including the annual appointments to local boards and commissions. The meeting began with a motion to approve the consent calendar, which passed unanimously among the present council members.

The first significant item on the agenda was the annual appointments to various boards and commissions. The Town Manager provided a report detailing the staggered terms of the board members, most of which expire on February 28 each year. The council accepted applications for open seats and conducted interviews for new applicants prior to the meeting.

Public comments were invited regarding the appointments, but no comments were received either online or in person. The council then proceeded to discuss the appointments individually, starting with the Diversity Inclusion Task Force. A motion was made to reappoint three incumbents—Howie Awash, Nushin Latour, and Tina Paikadeh—and to appoint new applicant Lena Godfrey. This motion was seconded and passed with unanimous support.

Next, the council addressed the Building Code Appeals Board, where incumbent Don Schneer was the sole applicant for reappointment. His reappointment was also unanimously approved. The Planning Commission followed, with incumbent Daniel Amir requesting reappointment, which was similarly approved without opposition.

The council then moved to the Disaster Advisory Council, where two incumbents, Adam Brolin and Colin Crawford, were proposed for reappointment. The motion to reappoint them was seconded and passed unanimously.

Overall, the meeting was marked by a collaborative spirit as the council efficiently handled the appointment process, ensuring that all positions were filled with qualified candidates. The next steps will involve continuing to engage with community members for future openings and maintaining the effectiveness of the town's boards and commissions.
