Board confirms dozens of appointments across Bartlett advisory boards and commissions

The Bartlett Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Jan. 29 confirmed a large slate of appointments and reappointments across the city's advisory boards and commissions.

Madam Clerk read roughly 14 pages of names into the record; the slate included appointments and reappointments to the Bartlett Library Advisory Board, Board of Zoning Appeals, Bartlett Performing Arts and Conference Center (BPAC) Advisory Board, City Beautiful Commission, Code Appeals Board, Design Review Commission, Family Assistance Commission, Grievance Review Board, Historic Preservation Commission, Industrial Development Board, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, Pension Board and Retirement Plan Committee, Planning Commission, Stormwater Board of Appeals and YMCA Advisory Board.

The mayor presented the slate and the board moved and seconded approval. The clerk then placed the vote before the board and the slate was approved. The record lists many individual names; examples called during the meeting include Lynn Chambers, Melanie Cummings, Mikyla Miller (Library Advisory Board); Stan Burton and Paul Kiser (Board of Zoning Appeals); Gretchen Peterson and Jeremy Seidel (Parks and Recreation Advisory Board); and Patrick Cece and Casey Williamson (Pension Board). Officials encouraged residents who were not called but who wish to serve to email the mayor's office.

Board members also acknowledged long-serving volunteers. During the meeting Alderman Quinn thanked Lorraine Williams for about 25 years of service to the BPAC advisory board and volunteer work.

The board's vote to approve the appointments was recorded without opposition.
