Commission votes to recommend Nicole Summit for Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission appointment
Summary
The commission unanimously voted to recommend Nicole Summit’s appointment to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission; the township board will consider the nomination. Summit introduced herself and described community volunteer work and interest in active-transportation issues.
The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission voted to recommend that the township board appoint Nicole Summit to the commission.
Why it matters: filling a longstanding vacancy restores membership and brings an applicant who described volunteer and professional experience relevant to active-transportation planning.
Nicole Summit introduced herself at the meeting as an applicant and resident of Southpointe. She said she is director of global events at Microsoft, works from home when not traveling, volunteers on the absentee ballot committee, and has served at polling stations for local elections. "I am just interested in getting more involved in the community," Summit said, adding that she is an avid walker who wants to help maintain and improve bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
A commissioner moved to recommend Summit’s appointment and another commissioner seconded; the commission called the question and members present voted "Aye." The transcript records the motion passing but does not record a roll-call or numeric tally. Commissioners said Jamieson would forward the recommendation to the township board and that the next township board meeting is expected in early May; if the township board appoints her, the commission invited Summit to return.
The transcript does not record the township board’s action; the appointment is final only if the township board votes to appoint Summit.
