Personnel committee advances three county board appointments
Summary
The Northampton County personnel committee moved three appointments — one new and two reappointments — forward on the agenda, including terms and board assignments for the Drug and Alcohol Advisory Board, the Mental Health/Early Intervention/Developmental Programs Advisory Board, and the Personnel Appeals Board.
The Northampton County personnel committee moved three appointment items forward during a committee meeting, advancing one new appointment and two reappointments for consideration by the full council.
The committee considered Michael Andre of Catasauqua for a two-year appointment to the county Drug and Alcohol Advisory Board, a reappointment for Arlene J. Lasalle Lund of Bethlehem to the Mental Health, Early Intervention and Developmental Programs Advisory Board for a three-year term, and a reappointment for Anthony “Tony” Pristache of Northampton to the Personnel Appeals Board for a two-year term. Committee members made motions to move each item forward on the agenda; the transcript records motions and seconds but no roll-call vote or tally for these specific items.
The appointments include the following terms as read into the record: Michael Andre — term to begin 07/01/2025 and end 06/30/2027 (Drug and Alcohol Advisory Board); Arlene J. Lasalle Lund — reappointment for a three-year term to begin 07/21/2025 and end 07/22/2028 (Mental Health, Early Intervention and Developmental Programs Advisory Board); Anthony “Tony” Pristache — reappointment for a two-year term to begin 03/17/2025 and end 02/03/2027 (Personnel Appeals Board). The committee discussion recorded in the transcript contained no substantive objections or amendments to those terms.
The committee’s routine personnel business preceded other committee work that followed in the combined meeting, including audit presentations and finance items. The transcript shows committee members saying motions such as “Motion to move forward” and “Motion to move to the agenda” in response to each appointment, and then proceeding to the next agenda item.
No formal vote tallies or individual members’ recorded votes appear in the transcript for these appointment motions. Because the record does not show a roll-call or final vote on each appointment in the personnel committee segment provided, the transcript only documents that motions to advance the appointments were made and seconded and that the committee proceeded with business.
The full council will receive these items as advanced by the personnel committee for final consideration per the county’s appointment procedures.
