Council confirms mayoral nominees to Port Authority
Summary
The Helena‑West Helena City Council approved the mayor's nominees to the Port Authority, adding local community members including Bishop Leroy Carter and Wes Horner to the authority roster.
The Helena‑West Helena City Council voted to confirm mayoral nominees to the Port Authority, adding community representatives to the body that oversees port‑related activity.
The mayor submitted an emailed list from John Edwards recommending reappointment of current members and nomination of new members. Council moved and approved the reappointments and the additional nominee, Bishop Leroy Carter and Wes Horner among those confirmed during the meeting. Council clerk roll call indicated the motion passed; the clerk recorded four members voting yes and two members absent for the roll call on that item, and council declared the appointments approved.
Bishop Leroy Carter, who attended the meeting, and nominee Wes Horner each addressed the council briefly after the vote; Horner thanked the council, saying he would “work hard” and invited members to contact him with any concerns.
Council did not discuss substantive port policy or funding during the vote; the action at the meeting was the confirmation of nominees to fill vacancies on the Port Authority.
