Parkland advisory board elects chair, vice chair; sets meeting calendar
Summary
At its March 2025 meeting the City of Parkland Community Advisory Board elected officers, approved minutes and the agenda, and set meeting dates for 2025. The board also approved its internal process for scholarship review and agreed to study options for an old fire truck and report back by May 13.
The City of Parkland Community Advisory Board on a unanimous voice vote elected Bill Kennedy as chair and reappointed Jeff Wolf as vice chair, approved the minutes from the November meeting, adopted the meeting agenda and set the board's 2025 meeting dates.
The board approved proposed meeting dates of Tuesday, May 13; Tuesday, Sept. 9; and Tuesday, Nov. 4 (moved one week earlier than the usual second-Tuesday slot because Nov. 11 is Veterans Day). The board chair said the clerk will post and advertise the dates once they are finalized.
Board members also approved a procedural motion for how the Community Advisory Board will handle scholarship selections this year (see separate article). Separately, the board directed staff and members to study options for an inoperable historic fire truck on city property and present findings, including removal cost estimates and potential fundraising or reuse concepts, at the May 13 meeting.
Several routine procedural motions passed by voice vote with seconds recorded during the meeting. Specific moves and seconds as recorded in the meeting transcript include:
- Nomination of Bill Kennedy to serve again as chair; motion seconded (mover recorded in the audio as Jeff Wolf, second as Doug Eaton). Outcome: passed unanimously.
- Motion to nominate Jeff Wolf to serve again as vice chair; moved by Bill Kennedy, second by Kendra Crompton. Outcome: passed unanimously.

- Motion setting meeting dates of May 13, Sept. 9 and Nov. 4; motion and second recorded and passed unanimously.
- Motion to adopt a single process for scholarship review and interviews (see scholarship article); moved by Kelty Carpenter Hyman, seconded by Jeff Wolf. Outcome: passed.
- Motion that the board study options for the inoperable fire truck and return with a definitive recommendation at the May 13 meeting; motion recorded and seconded during discussion. Outcome: passed; board asked staff to provide estimated removal cost and the prior list of suggested options.
