Committee approves three appointments including reappointment to Emergency Services Agency Board
Summary
The Public Safety Committee approved three appointment items by voice vote/consent: the reappointment of Fred Pervine to the Emergency Services Agency Board (Proposal 107), the appointment of Ashley Barnett (Proposal 108), and the appointment of Claudette Peterson to the General Orders Board (Proposal 98).
The Public Safety Committee approved three appointment proposals by voice vote or unanimous consent at its April meeting.
Proposal 107 reappointed Fred Pervine to the Emergency Services Agency Board. Members thanked Pervine for his more than four decades of service to the city; Pervine spoke briefly and thanked the committee. The committee approved the reappointment by voice vote.
Proposal 108 appointed Ashley Barnett to the Emergency Services Agency Board for the first time. Barnett summarized her background in child services and juvenile justice work and told the committee she is an advocate for using detention only for youth who pose the greatest public‑safety risk; she was approved by voice vote. Council members emphasized the importance of attendance for advisory board members.
Proposal 98 appointed Claudette Peterson to the General Orders Board. Peterson described her background in corrections administration and community security work and said she would bring community perspective to the board. The committee approved the appointment by voice vote; several councilors publicly supported her nomination.
Each item will proceed to the full council for final confirmation. No formal roll call tallies were recorded in the committee minutes for the three voice‑vote items; the chair declared each motion carried by consent.
