For planning-board representation, Speaker 2 nominated AP Kern III for the City of Oxford Planning Board ETJ seat; Speaker 1 announced AP Kern’s appointment after a second and voice vote.

The board also approved a slate of reappointments to the Tourism Development Authority, including a reappointment identified in the record as "TJ." Speaker 8 moved to approve the TDA slate and Speaker 4 seconded; the board approved the motion by voice vote.

Separately, Speaker 4 proposed increasing the county’s representation on the county fire commission by adding a second commissioner as a nonvoting liaison to provide additional perspective and feedback to that taxing authority. Speaker 10 confirmed the position would be a nonvoting liaison.
