Board approves appointment process and three‑member review committee for Derby Recreation Commission seat
Summary
The board authorized a process and a three‑member committee (Blankenship, Pearman and Burke Jones) to review applicants for a Derby Recreation Commission vacancy and return a recommendation at the end of June.
Superintendent Heather Bohati briefed the board on a proposed process for filling a vacancy on the Derby Recreation Commission. She recommended a three‑person committee to review applicants and return a recommendation to the board at the end of June.
Board members agreed to the recommended committee membership: Mr. Blankenship, Ms. Pearman and Director of Operations Burke Jones. The superintendent said the timeline would include posting the vacancy and interviewing candidates according to the posted schedule.
Why it matters: The Derby Recreation Commission interfaces with district facilities and programming. A joint process with district representatives on the review committee gives the district a voice in selecting an appointee.
Vote and next steps: The board approved the appointment process and committee; staff will follow the advertised timeline and bring a recommendation to the June board meeting. The meeting record included a mixed roll-call discussion of votes as members confirmed their participation; the board packet and formal minutes will record the final tally.
