Council committee advances slate of Charter Review Board nominees; one appointment held pending legal clarification
Summary
Finance & Personnel called for appointments to the 2025 Charter Review Board and moved several nominees to the council floor. Committee members flagged a legal question about the partisan-registration requirement for the board and held one nominee (Tom Harden) for follow-up with the law director.
The Finance & Personnel Committee called a slate of nominees for the Charter Review Board 2025 roster and moved the appointments to the council floor with one nomination held for legal clarification.
Committee chair Taylor Thompson presented the mayor’s requested nominees and the committee considered party‑registration constraints in the charter (a maximum number from the same political party). Committee members noted late or additional applications arrived after the mayor’s letter was drafted and asked for time to review the full applicant pool and for law‑director guidance on how party registration should be interpreted.
The committee called several nominees out to move to the floor: Julie Miller, Nancy (Dana) Angeloff (listed as Nancy/Nina/Angeloff in filings), Carol Fry, Dallas Moore, Eddie Lawson, and Charlie Reese. The mayor’s nomination of Tom Harden (Tom Harnan/Hardin in different references) was held so the law director can confirm his party‑registration status and any charter constraints.
Chair Thompson said the committee will seek legal clarification from the law director before final confirmation; if nominees fail confirmation the mayor would be asked to submit replacements in time to meet the charter’s February seating deadline.
Ending: Committee members emphasized wanting to follow the charter’s requirements exactly and to review late applications; the matter will continue next week after legal review.
