Court appoints Peter Kindig to Airport Advisory Board and converts membership to at-large
Summary
The commissioners unanimously appointed Peter Kindig to the Nueces County Airport Advisory Board, and voted to change the board’s selection process so future seats are filled at-large rather than by precinct.
The Nueces County Commissioners Court on Feb. 5 appointed Peter Kindig to the Airport Advisory Board and moved to convert the panel’s membership to at-large appointments.
Key points - The court unanimously approved the appointment of Peter Kindig to an at-large seat after discussion about the advisory board’s recent inactivity and the difficulty of recruiting members under the precinct-based seat structure. - Commissioners discussed a wider review of county advisory boards and directed staff to perform a sunset review of boards and commissions to confirm necessary meetings and membership activity. - The court voted to reopen applications for the remaining vacancies and to change the board so that any Nueces County resident could apply for future terms.
Why it matters: Commissioners said changing to at-large appointments should make it easier to recruit members with aviation experience and to ensure the advisory board meets regularly after recent years of limited activity.
