Summary
City staff recommended and council agreed to forward multiple appointment recommendations to the next regular meeting for formal action, including candidates for the animal welfare committee, TIF commission, heritage commission, parks commission, tree commission and arts council.
City staff on April 14 presented a slate of appointment recommendations and asked the council to direct staff to add a resolution appointing the nominees at the next regular meeting.
Staff recommended appointments to multiple bodies: Linda Pringle, Linda Humphrey, Tammy Huff, and Rachel Ives for the animal welfare committee; Amanda McIntyre and Grant Watkins Davis to the tax increment financing commission; Haven Herndon and a reappointment of Lee Argo to the Heritage Commission; reappointment of Katie Gall to the Japanese Sister City Committee; Catherine Leiker to the city parks commission; Jim Hannah to the tree commission; and Nancy Ebert to the Independence Arts Council.
The mayor pro tem asked whether there was any discussion; no objections were raised and staff was directed to place the nominations on the next regular meeting agenda for confirmation. The study session record shows staff asked to add a resolution for the next regular meeting; the council did not take a formal roll-call vote in the study session.
Staff indicated they will prepare the required resolution and bring the full slate to a regular meeting for final council action.
