Jonesboro committee forwards mayor’s nominations for multiple boards to full council
Summary
The City Council Nominating and Rules Committee voted to forward Resolution 25-041 — Mayor Harold Copenhaver’s recommendations for appointments and reappointments to several city boards and commissions — to the full City Council by voice vote.
The Nominating and Rules Committee of the Jonesboro City Council voted to forward Resolution 25-041, which contains Mayor Harold Copenhaver’s recommendations for appointments and reappointments to city boards and commissions, to the full City Council.
The resolution lists appointments and reappointments for the Stormwater Management Board, Board of Zoning Adjustments, Civil Service Commission, the CDBG Citizens Advisory Committee, the Northeast Arkansas Industrial Development Commission and the Jonesboro Multimodal Connectivity Committee. Committee members moved and seconded to send the resolution to the full council and approved the motion by voice vote; no roll-call vote was recorded.
The resolution, as read into the record by committee staff, recommends reappointing Susan Meredith, Charles Coleman, Pam Alexander and Jeff Stealing to the Stormwater Management Board for three-year terms (listed in committee paperwork as ending 05/17/28). It recommends appointing Matthew Mellon to the Board of Zoning Adjustments to complete the unexpired term of Max Dacus (listed as ending 04/30/27). It recommends reappointing Glenda Frankenberg to the Civil Service Commission for a six-year term (listed in committee paperwork as ending 05/01/1931). It recommends appointing Trina Long to the CDBG Citizens Advisory Committee to fulfill the unexpired term of Charleston Gurley (listed as ending 03/21/26). It also recommends reappointing Al Harringer III to the Northeast Arkansas Industrial Development Commission for a three-year term (listed as ending 04/16/28).
The resolution includes appointments to the Jonesboro Multimodal Connectivity Committee: Joe Hafner, Philip Poston, Andy Shatley, Michael Givens, Christy McDaniel, J.D. Rainwater, Todd Clark, Drew Freeman, Victor Espasota, Bethany Baray Harrison and Mayor Harold Copenhaver. The committee record notes a two-year term for that panel but did not list individual expiration dates for those appointments in the document read aloud at the meeting.
Committee members did not engage in extended debate on the nominations during the meeting and there were no public comments recorded. With the committee’s vote to forward, the nominations will be considered at an upcoming full council meeting; the committee did not provide a date for that council consideration during the session recorded in the transcript.
