Humboldt County TV District accepts Rick Jimenez resignation; Misty Adkins appointed, Brian named vice chairman
Summary
The Humboldt County TV District board accepted the resignation of longtime board member Rick Jimenez, voted to appoint Misty Adkins to fill the vacancy and named board member Brian as vice chairman. Appointments were by voice vote and will take effect when formal swearing-in occurs.
The Humboldt County TV District board accepted the resignation of board member Rick Jimenez and voted to appoint Misty Adkins to fill his vacated seat, the board announced during its meeting. The board also selected Brian as vice chairman.
The action came after the chair said Jimenez and his wife are moving out of county and that Jimenez had submitted a resignation within the previous two weeks. The board moved to accept the resignation, and members voted in favor by voice. No roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.
Why it matters: The appointments restore the board to full membership and designate leadership for upcoming committee work and site visits the board plans this spring and summer.
Board members then moved to offer the open seat to Misty Adkins. Adkins, who joined the meeting by phone and said she had been “in the car” when called, accepted the appointment by saying, "Oh, thank you. And yes, I accept." She added she regretted missing the meeting in person and said, "I'll do my best to not let it happen again." The motion to appoint Adkins carried on a voice vote.
With Adkins appointed, the board considered a vice chairman appointment. Brian agreed to serve; a motion to appoint him was seconded and approved by voice vote.
The board did not record written roll-call vote counts in the transcript for these motions, and the appointee will be official only after a formal swearing-in. No additional conditions or terms were specified during the meeting.
Members discussed no alternative candidates at length; the chair noted the board could re-advertise the vacancy instead of appointing Adkins but the board chose appointment. No paperwork or effective date beyond “effective immediately” for the resignation was specified in the meeting record.
Ending: The board welcomed Adkins and moved on to committee and operational items; the transcript shows no further formal action tied to the appointments beyond the voice votes.
