Committee approves three appointments including two board reappointments and a General Orders Board nominee
Summary
The committee approved three personnel items by voice or consent: reappointment of Fred Pervine to the Emergency Services Agency Board, appointment of Ashley Barnett to the Juvenile Detention Center Advisory Board, and appointment of Claudette Peterson to the General Orders Board.
The committee voted to approve multiple personnel items during the meeting.
Proposal 107 (2025): Reappointment of Fred Pervine to the Emergency Services Agency Board. Mr. Pervine briefly addressed the committee, noting his more than 40 years of service to the city and his willingness to continue. The appointment was approved by voice consent.
Proposal 108 (2025): Appointment of Ashley Barnett to the Juvenile Detention Center Advisory Board. Barnett described a career in child welfare and juvenile justice including work as a family case manager for the Department of Child Services and 14 years focused on juvenile reform. She said she supports reserving detention for youth who pose the greatest risk to public safety and exploring diversion options. Councilors emphasized the importance of attendance for advisory-board members. The appointment was approved by voice consent.
Proposal 98 (2025): Appointment of Claudette Peterson to the General Orders Board. Peterson described a long career in criminal-justice-related work, service as a deputy constable in Warren Township and experience operating a security company. Council chair members praised her community background and named her a strong fit for the reconstituted board. The appointment was approved by voice consent.
Votes at a glance: all three proposals carried; the committee used voice or unanimous consent for the board items and a roll-call vote for the OPHS director (covered in a separate article). No ordinances or budget appropriations were decided as part of these items.
Ending note: Committee leaders added several members as co-sponsors where requested and encouraged appointees to coordinate with council offices on follow-up requirements and expectations for attendance and engagement.
