Summary
Four nominees introduced themselves in the work session; the council chair said their names (Austin Whitehead, Janice Kimball, Thomas Merrill and Christian Chavez) will be placed on tonight—s formal meeting consent agenda for adoption; no appointments were finalized in the work session.
Four nominees introduced themselves at the Nov. 18 work session and described their backgrounds ahead of a consent-agenda placement for the formal meeting. Austin Whitehead said he lives in Liberty Wells and is a master's student in urban planning, offering to help public lands planning; Janice Kimball said she has served nonprofit boards and works with Housing Connect; Thomas (Tom) Merrill described long-term downtown residence and interests in outdoor space; and Christian Chavez said he grew up on the West Side and works in health-care contracting.
Why it matters: These are routine advisory-board and commission nominations. The chair said the council will place each name on the consent agenda for tonight—s formal meeting; nominees need not be present for consent-adoption. No substantive debate or votes occurred in the work session.
Next steps: The nominees will appear on the formal meeting consent agenda and may be adopted there.
