Committee elects Garrison as public chair of Independence budget committee
Summary
Committee members closed nominations and approved a motion to appoint committee member Garrison as the public chair for the Independence Budget Committee by roll-call vote.
Committee members on the Independence Budget Committee closed nominations and voted to appoint committee member Garrison as the committee's public chair during the April 23 meeting.
The committee first gathered nominations for a non‑council public chair after the city councilor who had been serving as chair stepped down from that role. Multiple nominees were placed on the table; one nominee later withdrew. After closing nominations, the committee held a roll‑call vote in which members recorded their ayes and the committee confirmed Garrison as chair.
The action was procedural: the committee moved to close nominations and proceeded to vote on the remaining nomination. Following the vote, participants acknowledged that a chair was in place and continued with the agenda, including public comment and the budget presentation.
No formal amendments or conditions attached to the appointment were recorded in the transcript.
