Commission appoints members to Finance Advisory Committee; Les Smoot elevated to regular seat
Summary
The commission appointed Les Smoot from alternate to a regular member of the Finance Advisory Committee, reappointed Joseph Gunther and Fang Judkins for two‑year terms, and named Greg Childers as alternate; votes were unanimous.
The Safety Harbor City Commission appointed three regular members and one alternate to the Finance Advisory Committee on June 2, filling several expired terms and positioning a licensed Florida CPA to be eligible for the audit committee.
City staff told the commission the terms of Joseph Gunther, Fang Judkins and Elizabeth Wadsworth had expired; Wadsworth is not seeking reappointment. The staff presentation noted Les Smoot had served as an alternate without missed meetings and recommended appointing him to a regular seat so he could be considered for audit‑committee service, which the resolution prefers be filled by a Florida licensed CPA.
Commission action: The commission appointed Les Smoot to a regular member seat, reappointed Joseph Gunther and Fang Judkins to two‑year terms, and appointed Greg Childers as the FAC alternate. All motions carried on unanimous voice votes.
Next steps: Staff will notify appointees, update committee rosters and bring a future item to the commission if the FAC recommends an audit‑committee appointment that requires a licensed CPA.
