Board appoints members to board of canvassers and names member to Department of Human Services board
Summary
Commissioners appointed Chuck Murphy and Nancy O'Brien to four-year terms on the board of canvassers and appointed Mary Mooney (application applicant) to a three-year term on the Department of Human Services board.
The Gratiot County Board of Commissioners made several appointments during the meeting.
Why it matters: Appointments to the board of canvassers and the Department of Human Services affect who administers election canvassing procedures and represents local interests at human-services decision points.
Board of canvassers: The board appointed Chuck Murphy (submitted by the local Republican chair) and Nancy O'Brien (recommended by a party letter) to four-year terms on the board of canvassers. The transcript records a motion — "By Jan, supported by Steve, who appoint, Chuck Murphy and Nancy O'Brien for seats on the board of canvassers for 4 year term. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Motion carried." The board noted that party letters are required for these appointments.
Department of Human Services: The commissioners appointed Mary Mooney to a three-year term on the Department of Human Services board. The transcript records that Mary Mooney was the only applicant and that the post was advertised; a motion to appoint her was moved and supported, and the voice vote carried.
Next steps: County staff will finalize appointment paperwork and terms for each appointee.
