Commissioners discuss board vacancies, appointments and shifting summer meeting dates
Summary
Commissioners reviewed vacancies on two local boards — Montgomery Area Mental Health Authority and Montgomery City‑County Public Library Board — and discussed moving several summer meeting dates to avoid conflicts; formal votes and appointee names were not recorded.
The commission discussed several board appointment items and proposed calendar changes for summer meetings.
Chairman Kendall noted a board appointment to the Montgomery Area Mental Health Authority may be the responsibility of one commissioner and said he would verify whether the seat was still active. Commissioners also discussed two vacancies on the Montgomery City‑County Public Library Board after the resignations of Betsy Atkins and Phil Johnson; commissioners said they would check with current appointees and identify candidates before the next meeting.
Separately, commissioners proposed moving three summer meeting dates by roughly one week to avoid conflicts with travel and conferences. Staff counsel advised the commission that approving calendar changes would require a formal vote and public advertisement, and commissioners asked that the calendar adjustments be placed on the next agenda for action.
"If commissioner Harris has somebody by next meeting, we'll go ahead and vote on him," one commissioner said about a board appointment. On scheduling, staff said, "You would need to vote on that, then you would need to advertise that, then post it." No formal votes or final appointments were recorded on the transcript; commissioners directed staff to place the items on a future agenda for action.
