The committee confirmed nominations to the Milwaukee Youth Council and appointed several members to Business Improvement District No. 48.
Savannah Herr was recommended by staff and supported by committee members; a committee member noted her election as youth-council president and enthusiasm for multiple agenda items. The committee moved for and recorded confirmation "with no objection." Serena Tao — pronounced "Toe," according to a committee speaker — was presented as a motivated new at-large member involved in forensics, robotics and the Milwaukee Public Library's youth advisory board; the committee confirmed her without objection.
The mayoral appointments for Business Improvement District No. 48 advanced by voice vote or unanimous consent included Craig Berry (owner/manager of "Mister B's," 617 W. Brown Deer and other properties), Paris Hibbler (commercial-property owner at 9155 N. 76th St., noted for community work and a food pantry), and Odene Taylor (commercial property owner with prior investment in the BID area). Each nominee spoke briefly about reasons for serving and community involvement; committee members moved for confirmation in turn and recorded "no objections." Alderman Deandre Jackson moved confirmations in at least one case.
All confirmations were approved without recorded opposition and will take effect per the city's standard appointment processes.
