Later in the meeting the committee approved a consolidated slate of six additional nominations by a 7-0 vote.

Alan Sloan told the committee he had recently been confirmed to the Transportation Licensing Commission but resigned because of a qualification issue; he said he was glad for the current nomination. “I’m currently the chairman and co-director of a group called NICS Nashville, which focuses on education community building in the non-monogamy community,” Sloan told the committee. He described his interest in the Human Relations Commission as rooted in equity and access: “If you just put yourself in the position of the person who’s having this issue, it’s very easy to see… I would just hope to promote that and to help other people kind of see where even if something’s not happening to you, it doesn’t mean it’s not happening.”

The consolidated vote approved the following nominees: Dakota Gollman (Human Relations Commission, term exp. 04/18/2029), Sarah Martin (Human Relations Commission, term exp. 04/18/2027), Carmen Reese Foster (Human Relations Commission, term exp. 04/18/2027), Claudia Weber (Human Relations Commission, term exp. 04/18/2027), Alicia Wynn (Human Relations Commission reappointment, term exp. 04/18/2028), and Dr. D’Angelo Taylor (Social Services Commission appointment, term exp. 04/03/2030). The committee recorded the consolidated approval as 7-0 in favor.

Committee members had no additional questions after Sloan’s interview and voted to move the confirmations forward. The committee record does not show individual roll-call votes by name for the confirmations.","The Rules, Confirmations & Public Elections Committee approved Alan Sloan’s appointment to the Human Relations Commission (term to 04/18/2026) and consolidated approval of six other nominees on July 1.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6179520,"Committee defers proposed rule to require single vote for ordinances on first reading",180,495835,676220,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5126984-f0e2d08616455c34218a2c5dbd77390e&start=495&end=676","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5126984-f0e2d08616455c34218a2c5dbd77390e/thumbnail_495835.jpg","/articles/6179520/Tennessee/Committee-defers-proposed-rule-to-require-single-vote-for-ordinances-on-first-reading","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179520-a6e3405e36d68963668267c1224f987c/orig.mp4?Expires=1773655286&Signature=m1tIQeB8gEtUCs5q1ybn-Rf1sNkvGqE8zNGs31QOvhouykHRj4~XJqdCrPyfyj7l8xxtjsIae9bL2sWCC-jf26nnm8fk8i8bKdjvYZy58TEu9n9BAF3TT~yjzCVClTKAg~WOK21WRTDpOiXKE1xQEXkVK9bENoVPIjEje~HUh1qyZpEJrmHkcfBHwHrn9xn5otdI-8ueC~L1-~cTJvTjGHynRcKpSknV7zAd3g8M8Bm-bK8M98bCWPjGGnXy1WqEvzbjc7OXyfjopNlaDiTKVnWTtDGi6MtGJVNCpflh4qByS3mGKKuW1HjSzB4fQWS7NUqB~q0XYn~sRz~4RSEoiw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the July 1 meeting of the Rules, Confirmations & Public Elections Committee, members voted 7-0 to defer for one meeting a proposed amendment to Rule 9.3 that would require all ordinances on first reading to be considered in a single vote.

Committee chair read the proposed language into the record: “All ordinances on first reading shall be considered by the council in one vote. An ordinance on first reading may be considered separately only upon the request of the lead sponsor as provided in Rule 9.2.” The measure was filed originally by Council member Benedict and a substitute was filed by Council member Cash.

The committee discussed whether Benedict intended to withdraw the proposal. Director Darby said, “It’s my understanding that she was considering withdrawing, and she’s not here to move it forward.” The committee moved and seconded a motion to defer the rule change for one meeting; the motion passed 7-0. Director Darby and the chair confirmed that, if Benedict chooses to withdraw, she would have the opportunity to speak about that decision even after a one-meeting deferral.

The deferral means the substitute and the original language will return to the committee at its next scheduled meeting for further consideration or formal withdrawal; no final change to Rule 9.3 was adopted at this session.

The committee did not record additional amendments or set a firm deadline for further action at the July 1 meeting.","At its July 1 meeting the Rules, Confirmations & Public Elections Committee voted 7-0 to defer for one meeting a proposed amendment to Rule 9.3 that would require all ordinances on first reading to be considered in a single vote unless the lead sponsor requests separate consideration.","actionData","errors"]
