Mayor nominates three volunteers for city boards; council to vote at upcoming meeting
Summary
Mayor Jim Bingham recommended Pete Brown to the Industrial Development Board and nominated Amelia “Millie” Sumner and Emily Gordon to advisory boards; the council discussed nominees and will consider roll-call approvals at the next regular meeting.
Mayor Jim Bingham presented three appointments for council approval and described each nominee's background; the council did not record final roll-call votes during the work session.
For the Industrial Development Board, Councilman Michael announced he will bring forward the nomination of Pete Brown at the next regular meeting and asked council members to meet him afterward. Michael described Brown as having a 40-year career in industrial chemical sales and living in Ward 2. "Pete has a 40 year career in industrial chemical sales... he lives in Ward 2," Michael said.
The mayor also recommended Amelia "Millie" Sumner (referred to in the meeting as Millie) to the cemetery advisory committee. Millie spoke briefly about her interest: "I just feel like that a lot of times, the cemeteries get forgotten... I can speak up for them." The mayor said the committee position is difficult to fill and praised her dedication.
The mayor presented Emily Gordon for an unexpired term on the Board of Zoning Appeals, noting her community leadership and involvement in civic organizations; council members had no questions recorded during the work session.
A separate housekeeping item asked the council to approve disposal of an old recreation-center computer; staff said the hard drive has been wiped and the property will follow the city's standard disposal process. That disposal item was listed for a roll-call vote at the regular meeting.
No appointments were finalized in this work session transcript; the mayor and council directed staff to place the nominations and the computer-disposal item on the next meeting agenda for roll-call votes.
