Greenwood council reappoints local board members and elects council officers
Summary
Council reappointed Lexi to the Plan Commission and Johnson County Solid Waste board, appointed Terry Manship to the Greenwood social board, reappointed Paul Saint Pierre to the Greenwood CDC, and elected Mike Campbell as council president and Gibson as vice president.
At its Jan. 5 meeting the Greenwood Common Council confirmed four one-year appointments and elected council officers for the coming year.
Appointments: Councilmembers nominated and unanimously approved the following one-year appointments: Lexi to the Greenwood Plan Commission and to the Johnson County Solid Waste District Management Board; Terry Manship to the Greenwood social board of directors; and Paul Saint Pierre to the Greenwood Community Development Corporation. The chair stated these are one-year appointments, and each was confirmed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
During the social-board nomination, an unnamed speaker (identified in the transcript as Speaker 5) recounted the board's history, saying the city "started out with $10,000 a year" in support and describing past senior center attendance. Quoting the speaker: "So at that point of time, Charlie, I think, started out with $10,000 a year." The anecdote provided historical context for the city's past support of senior services but the council did not record updated funding levels or a staff report at this meeting.
Elections: The council opened nominations for president and vice president. Mike Campbell was nominated and elected council president by voice vote; Gibson was nominated and elected vice president by voice vote. The transcript records the chair closing nominations and confirming the officers.
The mayor was not present; the chair noted the mayor "is not feeling well this evening," and then adjourned the meeting.
