Council confirms auditorium commission appointee and defers other appointments
Summary
The council confirmed Deshanae Cole to the Auditorium Commission and deferred consideration of several other appointees, including a one‑meeting deferral for Frank Stephenson’s Metro Development and Housing Agency board appointment.
The council handled a slate of appointees and referrals on Jan. 21 during its appointees and nominees section.
Chair Prepte reported committee recommendations. The council confirmed Miss Deshanae Cole to the Auditorium Commission for a term expiring July 1, 2027; the vote on the floor was moved and seconded and the council approved the confirmation. The transcript records congratulatory remarks to Miss Cole.
The rules, confirmations and public elections committee reported a one‑meeting deferral for the Metro Development and Housing Agency Board appointment of Frank Stephenson; the council approved that deferral to the Feb. 4 meeting. The committee also forwarded other appointments and reappointments — including Cara Entz (Human Relations Commission), Damita Beck Taylor (Solid Waste region board reappointment), and William Allen Sloan (Transportation and Licensing Commission) — back to committee for the normal two‑meeting confirmation process.
No single vote totals were read for the confirmations beyond the motion-and-second recorded on the floor; committee vote counts were read during the committee reports in open session.
