Mayor’s Council confirms slate of appointments to boards and commissions
Summary
The council approved a slate of appointments to multiple boards and commissions and said appointees will report monthly; the motion carried by voice vote during the Jan. 22 meeting.
The Mayor’s Council of Guam on Jan. 22 approved a slate of appointments to the council’s board and commission representation and asked appointees to provide monthly reports to the full council.
President Mayor Luis Rivera announced appointments including mayors assigned as representatives to the Commission on Decolonization, the Guam Council on the Arts and Humanities, Guam Early Learning Council and other advisory bodies. Rivera said the listing will be published and that appointees must report on whether the commission meets and the council’s interactions with the administration. Rivera singled out the Guam Visitors Bureau seat as contested; Mayor Robert Hoffman accepted the nomination for that vacancy.
Why it matters: The appointments assign mayors as official ex-officio or representative members to state boards and advisory councils, establishing lines of communication between village governments and the broader Guam executive and statutory boards.
Roll call and vote A motion to approve the appointments was made and seconded during the meeting; members voted by voice and the motion carried. President Rivera said appointees will be noticed to the governor and relevant agencies and requested monthly reports on board activity to inform whether a council representative is still required.
