Board forms subcommittee to review advisory board applications
Summary
The Parks Advisory Board created a subcommittee to review applications for vacancies and to recommend candidates to the Board of County Commissioners; board members named members of the subcommittee and agreed on process and timing tied to the April 10 application deadline.
The Parks Advisory Board voted to form a subcommittee to review applications for current advisory board vacancies and to make recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners. Staff noted the BOCC has been encouraging representation from the county’s West End and tribal communities, and two applicants meeting those criteria were identified.
Motion and outcome: a board member moved to form a subcommittee to review applications; the motion passed. The board determined the subcommittee would review applications after the April 10 closing date for the open announcement, and that subcommittee members would coordinate with staff about references or redacted materials available for review. At the meeting the board designated Candace and Roger (and Don or his designee as staff) to serve on the subcommittee and asked the group to return a recommendation to the full advisory board.
Why it matters: advisory board vacancies are filled either by direct BOCC appointment, BOCC interview and appointment, or staff review with a recommendation; the board chose to use a subcommittee review and recommendation process in this instance to expedite representation from targeted communities.
Next steps: the subcommittee will meet after the April 10 application closing date to review the then‑available applications and bring a recommended slate to the full advisory board for endorsement before sending recommendations to the BOCC.
