Summary
The appointments committee favorably moved Carl Bob to the Commission on Parks, Programs and Recreational Facilities and praised his longstanding involvement in parks programming and youth work.
The Board of Alders appointments committee voted to forward Carl Bob’s nomination to the Commission on Parks, Programs and Recreational Facilities.
Bob told the committee he has long worked with youth and values bringing programming into neighborhood parks. He advocated using rangers to engage communities and suggested the commission examine fee structures for outside users of city facilities to ensure residents’ access.
