Rules Committee forwards several advisory-committee reappointments and delays one applicant's hearing
Summary
The Rules Committee considered appointments to the Commission on the Aging advisory council, the Bicycle Advisory Committee and the Ballot Simplification Committee; one applicant for the aging council was absent and the committee agreed to wait, while other incumbents were forwarded as committee reports to the full Board.
The Rules Committee considered three agenda items covering vacancies and reappointments to advisory bodies.
Item 2 asked the committee to appoint two members to the Commission on the Aging Advisory Council. Clerk reading indicated Seat 1 must be filled by a District 2 nominee (Lila McCarthy), who could not attend for a medical reason and asked to appear at next Thursday's meeting; the committee agreed to defer that nomination until the absent applicant could appear. An incumbent nominee for Seat 8 (presented by speaker 9) described 30 years of perspective and said she wished to continue serving.
Item 3 considered one appointment to the Bicycle Advisory Committee (District 1 incumbent Mister Bindman). The committee noted the nominee's incumbency and attendance record and agreed to forward the nomination to the full board as a committee report so he would not need to appear in person.
Item 4 covered three incumbent seats on the Ballot Simplification Committee. June Fraps said she wished to continue serving; another long-serving member (speaker 10) outlined more than a decade of service and urged flexibility on district representation. One incumbent (Suzanne Stasevich) was unavailable this week and the committee agreed to forward names as a committee report so incumbents could be seated.
The committee handled the three items as routine appointments: some nominees will appear at the next Rules Committee meeting and several incumbents were forwarded to the full board as committee reports.
