Wilkes-Barre announces reappointments to General Municipal Authority and zoning board

During a Wilkes-Barre City Council work session, officials announced the reappointment of Robert Coval, Bob Hogan and Ruth Whalen to the General Municipal Authority and the reappointment of Hayden White to the zoning hearing board; council members also mentioned a separate zoning appointment for an individual named Adrian.

The items were presented as routine reappointments with no debate recorded in the transcript. A city staff member summarized the agenda items as reappointments and moved on to other business.

"These folks have been on it for a while. It's just a reappointment. You you all know them," said a city staff member when listing the General Municipal Authority reappointments.

One council member added, "I've I've known all 3 of them, and I'm really glad that they still continue to have a civic commitment to Wilkes Barre." Another speaker noted of the zoning appointment, "Adrian's been doing a heck of a job. He's been there a while. He knows what he's doing. He works good for the city."

The transcript records the names of the individuals being reappointed but does not record a mover, a second, a vote tally, or effective dates for the reappointments. The council indicated more appointments and reappointments will be brought forward at upcoming meetings.

No legal citations, terms of appointment, or start/end dates were provided in the transcript.
