Board approves consent calendar and appoints Humphreys to regional planning post

The Berrien County Board of Commissioners approved its consent calendar by roll call vote and appointed John Humphreys to fill a vacant seat on the Southwest Michigan Planning Commission at its June 19 meeting.

The consent calendar passed after a motion by Commissioner Pitchford, seconded by Commissioner Harrison. The clerk called the roll; commissioners present voted yes (recorded as: Curran, Freeling, Harrison, Kinkleman, At, Citrott, Tyler, Bora, Horfill, Bell, Elliot). No nay votes were recorded in the transcript.

Separately, the board appointed John Humphreys to fill the remainder of Gary Wood’s planning commission term, which the board said runs through the end of the calendar year. The motion to appoint Humphreys was made by Commissioner Hankelman and supported by Commissioner Freeland; the board approved the appointment by voice vote.

Both items were handled during routine business; no additional conditions or amendments were recorded on the appointment or the consent calendar vote in the transcript.
