Carolyn, the Main Street director, introduced four candidates to fill openings on the Main Street Advisory Board and asked the board to forward the recommendations to the city council for final appointment.
She introduced Manuel Pacis as the director of the Gilbert Memorial Library and said he has led library community collaborations during nearly four years in the role. Pacis told the board he hopes to extend the library’s reach into under‑served parts of the community and to collaborate on new programs.
Carla Bradshaw introduced herself as a co‑owner of Bradshaw Electric and described a long career that included mortgage compliance work and other local positions; the director described Bradshaw as a high‑energy volunteer who helped decorate downtown for recent events.
Daisy Jones Lemons told the board she was raised in Winnsboro, retired from Ford Motor Credit after more than 30 years and has returned to town; she said she wants to give back to the community and noted family caregiving experiences.
Carol Sutherland introduced herself as a long‑time volunteer who has participated in multiple local organizations; the director said Sutherland’s volunteer connections and horticulture interest (the “bloom team”) should benefit downtown beautification efforts.
A board member moved that the board approve the director’s recommendations of Manuel Pacis, Carla Bradshaw, Daisy Lemons and Carol Sutherland and forward the nominations to the Winnsboro City Council for formal appointment. The transcript records the motion but does not record a second or the board’s vote; the director said the city council will consider the recommendations on its next agenda.
All four nominees are slated to be placed on the Main Street board pending city council appointment; full terms and start dates were not specified in the transcript.
