The Shelbyville City Council ratified multiple board appointments and accepted volunteers for two council-side committees during the meeting.

The council reappointed five members to the Beer Board for one-year terms: Bridal Fisher, Joy Lamatina, Mark Ciccone, Roy Turner and Calvin Cannon. The council also ratified the mayoral appointment of Mister Kennedy to the Airport Authority for a five-year term and reappointed Mark McGee and Jennifer Templeton to three-year terms on the Library Board.

In business added to the agenda, the council voted to appoint one council member to the building task force (public safety building) and one council member to the senior citizens center building committee. Council members Lauren Noel and Mister Blevins volunteered for those assignments during the meeting.

Why it matters: Board appointments and council committee representatives determine who will make licensing, airport, library and building-facility recommendations and oversee ongoing work. The Airport Authority appointment is a five-year term; Beer Board terms are one year.

Details: The beer-board reappointments were approved by motion and unanimous voice vote. The Airport Authority appointment was ratified after the mayor presented Mister Kennedy and the council voted to confirm. The library reappointments were similarly ratified by motion and second. The two council volunteers for the building-related committees were accepted during a separately added business item.

Discussion vs. decision: The actions were formal ratifications and approvals. There was no recorded opposition in the meeting transcript.
