Council appoints Alexis Martinez to Public Safety Citizens Review Board; most other board vacancies deferred
The Florence City Council voted to appoint Alexis Martinez to the Public Safety Citizens Review Board and deferred several other board and commission vacancies at its meeting.

Staff reported five applicants for the Public Safety Citizens Review Board and said the appointment authority for that board falls to Councilman McKay. Unidentified Speaker 4 moved to appoint Alexis Martinez; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The council recorded a vocal "aye" and then stated "the ayes have it." The transcript does not record individual roll-call votes.

Earlier in the meeting, staff reviewed several other vacancies. The Design Review Board (falls to Councilman McCall), the Construction and Maintenance Board of Adjustments and Appeals (falls to the mayor), the Resilience and Sustainability Advisory Committee (falls to Councilman Smith), the Board of Zoning and Appeals (falls to the mayor), and the Veterans Park Committee (falls to Councilman Smith) each had either no applicants or were deferred for a later meeting. Staff concluded its report and returned the meeting to other business.

By voice vote, the single named appointment was approved; the record reflects that other appointments were deferred rather than filled. The council then moved on to a personnel matter discussed in executive session and subsequent formal actions.
