The Florence City Council moved to fill multiple vacancies on city boards and commissions and confirmed several reappointments during the meeting.

Council staff presented vacancies and nominations. Claire Brockening was identified as placing Alan Griffin on the Civic Center Commission. Jacqueline Campbell was reappointed to the accommodations tax board after no new applications were received; that reappointment was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. The design review board had two nominees: Michael Pageant (professional engineer, seeking reappointment) and Nick Gaddy (qualified as a professional architect); Councilman McCall nominated the latter, and the nomination proceeded. The council noted four vacancies on the construction and maintenance board of adjustment and appeals; those appointments fall to the mayor.

For the parks and beautification commission (three vacancies requiring city residents), Councilman Smith nominated Keanna Brown and Tanish Leggett; both nominations were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. For Veterans Park, the council recorded existing terms for Bruce Malik and James McLaughlin seeking reappointment and noted new applicants Shaniqua Joe and Cal Matthews; the council deferred final action on those Veterans Park appointments. The resilience and sustainability committee had no applicants on file, and the clerk concluded the report.

Where the transcript records roll-call or more detailed vote counts, it reports approval by voice vote as “the ayes have it.” Several items were deferred to the mayor to fill, per the agenda note.
