Council to open application portal for historic-preservation commission and library board vacancies
Summary
Mayor asked council to open an applications portal to accept resumes for multiple upcoming vacancies on the Historic Preservation Commission and for the Tuscaloosa Public Library board; one incumbent said not to seek reappointment.
City staff told council members the mayor intends to open an online portal to accept resumes for upcoming vacancies on the Historic Preservation Commission and the Tuscaloosa Public Library board.
Staff said five Historic Preservation Commission terms expire in May and one member, Mr. Cox, does not want to be reappointed; the mayor proposed taking resumes through June 1 to prepare for appointments. Staff said the commission is mayor-nominated and council-appointed and that the mayor would recommend reappointments unless the council objected. Staff listed current commissioners by name: Catherine (Cathy) Begani, Sally Davis, Wayne Yarbrough and Mary Harmon Young. Council members asked about the total number of commission seats and discussed timing for advertisement. The presenter asked for council approval to open the portal.
On the library board, staff said one position (held by Olympia McCracken) has expired and another (Virginia Ennis) may or may not be leaving; staff proposed advertising both openings with a two-week application window for McCracken’s seat and noting that action on Ennis’ position may need to wait until April. Council members agreed to the schedule during discussion in the supplied transcript excerpt; no formal roll-call vote is recorded in the excerpt.
