Vallejo’s City Council adopted a resolution confirming appointments to a range of city boards and commissions and approved a slate of nominees in a single vote.

Appointments: the council appointed members to eight bodies tonight. Highlights included three appointments to the Housing and Community Development Commission (Jared Bundy, Nicholas Cassidy and Linda Daniels), four appointments to the Human Relations Commission (Courtney Davis, Brandon Green, Jorel Maderas and Demetrius Stall Nash), and multiple participatory budgeting assignments including Patricia Bridal and Don Jordan as community representatives. The Planning Commission appointments were resolved after a split: councilmembers ultimately appointed Chris White and another candidate identified as Blind (listed on the roll as “Blind”) following votes from the dais. The mayor announced appointments to the Architectural Heritage and Landmarks Commission, Beautification Commission, McKeown Commission and others; councilmembers also identified liaisons for each board at the meeting.

Process and vote: staff said four commissions had the same number or fewer applicants than seats and those appointments were confirmed by voice. For contested positions the council used liaison nominations followed by roll‑call affirmation; the full set of appointments was adopted by a single resolution and carried unanimously with the vice mayor absent.

Why it matters: city commissions provide policy advice and program oversight on planning, housing, human relations and participatory budgeting. The Housing and Community Development Commission will influence implementation of housing and homelessness policies and local grant priorities; the participatory budgeting steering committee will manage a city program that allocates public funds by community vote.

Next steps: appointees will serve the terms indicated in the staff report; staff will publish the formal resolution and update commission rosters.
