The New Castle County Boards & Commissions Subcommittee convened on September 16, 2025, to discuss various appointments and nominations within the county's advisory committees. The meeting began with a focus on the nomination of a new member to the Historic Review Board (HRB). A committee member expressed confidence in the nominee's qualifications, highlighting their thoughtful approach and thanking them for their willingness to serve.

Following this, the subcommittee addressed the appointment of Melissa Rufo to the Hockessen Design Review Advisory Committee, representing Janet Kilpatrick's district. It was noted that the Hockessen Design Review Advisory Committee had been inactive for several years, lacking both members and meetings.

The subcommittee concluded the meeting by confirming that all nominations would be voted on in the following week. This session underscored the ongoing efforts to revitalize advisory committees within New Castle County and ensure effective governance through active participation.
