Council appoints four to COG board after roll-call vote
Summary
Charleston County council nominated and selected Jamila Harper, KJ Kearney, Summer Massey and (last name) Williams to the Charleston Area regional council/COG seat; the committee completed nominations and confirmed the four nominees by roll call.
The Finance Committee completed nominations and a roll-call appointment for seats on the regional Council of Governments (COG) board, selecting Jamila Harper, KJ (Michael) Kearney, Summer Massey and Williams (first name not specified in the record).
Nominations began during the committee meeting and three applicants addressed the committee: Summer Massey (seeking reappointment), KJ Kearney (listed on application as Michael Kearney Jr., community organizer), and Jamila Harper (resident, nonprofit executive). Each candidate briefly described qualifications: Massey cited prior attendance and transportation-industry experience; Kearney said he serves on a transit-oriented-design advisory commission and works with Charleston Promise Neighborhood; Harper described more than 15 years of experience in community and international development and said she is COO of Metanoia and serves on advisory roles tied to regional transportation planning.
Committee members conducted a roll-call vote in which each council member named up to four nominees. After tallying votes, the committee announced the four nominees as Harper, Kearney, Massey and Williams. The committee chair noted that because there was no opposition, the nominations will be transmitted without needing candidates to return on Tuesday.
The committee did not provide additional details about term lengths, board responsibilities, or the first-meeting dates in the public remarks recorded at the meeting.
