Pierce County Council approves consent agenda, confirms two commission appointments
Summary
The council approved the consent agenda and confirmed appointments of Nancy Daly Slotnick to the Mid County Land Use Advisory Commission and John Shoemaker to the Tacoma Narrows Airport Advisory Commission.
The Pierce County Council approved its consent agenda on Jan. 7 by a 6-0 roll call vote and separately confirmed two appointments that were removed from consent for individual consideration.
At the meeting the council approved Resolution R2024-263, confirming Nancy Daly Slotnick to the Mid County Land Use Advisory Commission, and Resolution R2024-264, confirming John Shoemaker to the Tacoma Narrows Airport Advisory Commission. Both confirmations passed by unanimous roll call votes (6-0).
Nut graf: The confirmations put two community members on advisory bodies that advise county staff and the hearing examiners on land use and airport matters. Slotnick, a long-time Mid County resident, told the council she seeks to help ensure growth is “smart and well-designed” and to bridge neighbors and applicants at advisory hearings. Shoemaker said he hopes to guide changes he expects to affect the Tacoma Narrows Airport over the next five to ten years.
