Summary

The mayor nominated Doug Huddleston to the Miami Airport Board to replace Jeff Howe; council voted to approve the appointment and noted potential abstention issues for members who serve on the board.

Mayor Parker nominated Doug Huddleston on Aug. 19 to fill a vacancy on the Miami Airport Board, replacing Jeff Howe. The nomination lists a term expiration date read at the meeting as Nov. 7, 1927 in the transcript; the council record indicates that date is a transcription error and that the intended term-expiration year is 2027. A councilmember asked whether members who currently serve on the airport board should abstain from the vote. The council then approved the appointment by recorded vote; the transcript records “aye” votes from Jones, Barnes, Eastaff and others. No additional background on Huddleston’s qualifications or a resume was discussed at the Aug. 19 meeting. The council did not set any changes to the airport board’s responsibilities or budget during the appointment.
