Summary

A Chamber of Commerce appointment to the fire civil service board was listed on the agenda in error and removed; the city reported the chamber can appoint the member and that 'Mister Harper' will serve.

Council leaders removed from the agenda a Chamber of Commerce appointment to the fire civil service board that had been listed in error.

The presiding speaker explained the item was not a city appointment, saying, "This item was put on there by error," and that the Chamber is responsible for one of the three appointments to that board. The speaker said, "Mister Harper is gonna serve" and noted a prior resignation prompted the listing.

Council members agreed to take the item off the city agenda. No formal city vote on the appointment was recorded in the transcript because the appointment is made by the Chamber of Commerce and not by the city council.
