Parks committee forwards Trina Roudebush nomination for Greenways Development Committee to full council

The Indianapolis City Parks and Recreation Committee voted to send Proposal 2-15 — the mayor's nomination of Trina Roudebush to the Indianapolis Greenways Development Committee — to the full City-County Council with a "do pass" recommendation.

Committee Chair Dan Boots introduced the nomination and asked Roudebush to describe her interest and qualifications. Roudebush said she is "a lifelong Indianapolis resident, active runner, active trail user" and that her professional background is in "marketing and communications" and in "global energy development and government affairs," which she said would provide "a unique perspective" to the committee.

Councilor Bain supported the nomination and asked to be added as a cosponsor, and Councilor Delaney vouched for Roudebush's enthusiasm and experience with trails, recounting an instance of meeting her while running. Committee member Briandolini moved that Proposal 2-15 be sent to the full council with a do-pass recommendation. Chair Boots called the voice vote; committee members responded in the affirmative and the committee chair thanked Roudebush for her willingness to serve.

The committee did not record roll-call tallies in the transcript. The motion was forwarded to the full council with a do-pass recommendation; no formal opposed votes were recorded in the committee's voice vote.

Roudebush's appointment, if confirmed by the full council, would place her on the Indianapolis Greenways Development Committee, the body that advises city staff on trail planning and greenway projects. The committee discussion was brief and limited to Roudebush's introduction, the request to add a cosponsor, and the committee's voice vote to forward the nomination to the council.
