Resident asks El Paso County to reschedule joint appointment committee after abrupt cancellation
Summary
Veronica Baker told commissioners on Sept. 2 that citizens were disappointed the joint appointment committee meeting was canceled without explanation and urged the board to reschedule, noting upcoming vacancies that must be filled before year end.
Veronica Baker addressed the Board of County Commissioners during public comment on Sept. 2 to request that the county reschedule a canceled joint appointment committee meeting and provide a reliable process for filling two upcoming vacancies.
Baker said many citizens had cleared schedules expecting updates on the long‑standing vacancy of Dora Gonzalez and the upcoming vacancy of Debbie English. She said the abrupt cancellation erodes trust and asked the board to reschedule the committee promptly so applicants and the public receive thoughtful consideration rather than a last‑minute rush.
Veronica Baker: "We respectfully ask that you reschedule the joint appointment committee without delay and commit to a clear, reliable process that honors both the applicants and the public's time." The public comment record shows Baker requested a public explanation for the cancellation and urged transparency in the appointment timeline as the county approaches the end of the year.
