Council appoints membership for four recovery boards and fills multiple advisory seats
Summary
Council approved appointments to the Economy Healing Recovery Board, Housing Helene Recovery Board, Infrastructure Recovery Board, People & Environment Super Board and several advisory boards; many motions passed unanimously, and the housing board used council tabulation to finalize two at-large members.
Asheville City Council confirmed appointments to four recovery boards and multiple advisory boards as part of the city's recovery governance structure.
Vice Mayor/Council (Speaker 5) read the at-large nominees and chair/designee lists for the Economy Healing Recovery Board; the motion to appoint the named slate passed unanimously. For the Housing Helene Recovery Board, council used a tabulation process to select the final two of 11 members, resulting in Rebecca Chaplin and Yvette Jives being added after votes were tallied.
The Infrastructure Recovery Board slate (including Marty Benson, David Nutter, Shavonda Harper, Michael Holcomb and others) was confirmed after council tabulation to resolve a tie; the motion passed unanimously. The People & Environment Super Board, multiple advisory board seats (design review committee, downtown commission, Human Relations Commission, Urban Forestry Commission) and several other appointments were moved and approved, with staff directed to re-advertise for seats that drew no applicants.
Several appointments were unanimous voice votes; the meeting transcript records multiple motions, seconds and affirmations but does not include a roll-call tally for each individual vote.
What happens next: Newly appointed board members will convene under the recovery-board structure and begin work on their respective mandates. The clerk's office will re-advertise for vacancies where no applications were received.
