Council approves three board and commission appointments

The City Council approved several appointments recommended by committees: Gary Coleman was appointed as an alternate to the Board of Adjustment after a 4-0 public-works committee approval; Brendan (Bridal) Block was reappointed to the Board of Adjustment; and Dr. Rob Roteman was appointed to the Planning Commission.

The Board of Adjustment alternate nomination for Gary Coleman (an attorney, as announced by staff) was presented and approved by voice vote after a motion and second. The council also reappointed Brendan Block to the Board of Adjustment and appointed Dr. Rob Roteman to the Planning Commission; these appointments were recorded as unanimous (8-0) on roll-call votes.

Why it matters: appointments to boards and commissions shape local land-use decisions (Board of Adjustment) and planning outcomes (Planning Commission). Council recorded unanimous approvals for these candidates during the meeting.

Speakers and votes: the nominations were presented by staff and by the public-works committee chair; council members moved and seconded the motions and the city clerk recorded the roll-call approvals.
