Council fills several advisory‑board vacancies; Caballero and Dallas appointed after reconsideration
Summary
At its Feb. 25 meeting Boca Raton’s City Council appointed members to multiple advisory boards: Jelisa Caballero and Sierra (Elise) Dallas were both appointed (to different boards after a reconsideration), Erez Barnur was named to the Community Appearance Board, and three incumbents were reappointed to the Marine Advisory Board.
The Boca Raton City Council on Feb. 25 appointed members to several advisory boards and panels during its board‑appointments agenda item.
Nut graf: The meeting concluded with multiple selections after interviews; one appointment was altered by motion to reconsider so that two candidates who had sought multiple appointments ultimately filled separate vacancies.
Appointments and outcomes: For the Citizens Pedestrian and Bikeway Advisory Board the council initially nominated and voted; Jelisa Caballero and Sierra (Elise) Dallas were both finalists. In the first vote Caballero received three votes and Dallas two and was announced as appointed. Later in the meeting Caballero asked to be considered for the Community Advisory Panel and indicated she would prefer that assignment; the council moved to reconsider the earlier Pedestrian Board appointment and voted to insert Dallas in that slot. Final results: Sierra Elise Dallas was appointed to the Citizens Pedestrian and Bikeway Advisory Board; Jelisa Caballero was appointed to the Community Advisory Panel (Caballero received four votes to one in that panel vote).
Other appointments: Erez Barnur was appointed to the Community Appearance Board (motion and vote recorded in consent of appointments). The Marine Advisory Board incumbents — Miss Bobich, Gary O’Donnell and Tom Thayer — were reappointed to fill three spots. The council recorded votes consistent with standard appointment procedure; none of these items generated extended public debate.
Process note: Council members cast individual roll‑call votes after nominations; the clerk announced the tallies for contested positions. In one instance the council used a motion to reconsider to alter an earlier appointment after a candidate requested reassignment between boards.
Ending: The council concluded the appointments portion of the meeting and thanked applicants; staff will notify appointees and post vacancy lists for remaining openings.
