Tampa council appoints Matthew Sink to Hillsborough City and County Planning Commission
Summary
After hearing from six applicants, the council appointed Matthew (Matt) Sink to the Hillsborough City and County Planning Commission by ballot, with Sink receiving five votes; council authorized preparing a resolution to formalize the appointment.
The council considered six applicants to fill the expired term of Planning Commission member Karen Kress. Clerk Shirley Foxno introduced the applicants and invited them to speak. Candidates included Dave Kern, Gavin Kobe, Hallie (Haley) Short, Matthew (Matt) Sink, Nicholas Gorman and Justin Walsh (not present). Each candidate summarized qualifications in planning, land use, affordable housing finance, transportation planning or economic development.
By ballot, council members selected Matthew Sink (who described himself as a Tampa resident since 2004 with a background in multifamily design and civic boards). The clerk reported that Sink received five votes from council members Maniscalco, Hertek, Young, Vieira and Carlson; Gavin Kobe received one vote. The council then moved to prepare a resolution naming Sink to the commission and approved that motion by voice vote.
The appointment will be formalized by a resolution to be prepared by staff; no further debate or roll-call vote on the resolution was recorded in the transcript segment.
