Council lists and moves forward two appointments to local boards
Summary
Council advanced two appointments: Isaac Demuth for a Park and Recreation Commission vacancy and Michael Schmidt for a planning commission seat. Council members discussed conducting a broader review of boards and commissions but moved to proceed with the nominations.
The Bristol City Council on Jan. 6 considered appointments to local boards and commissions and moved forward two candidates.
Isaac Demuth was presented as a candidate for an open seat on the Park and Recreation Commission. Council members discussed whether to delay appointments to allow broader outreach and to review attendance and engagement across boards and commissions; some urged a work session for that review, while others preferred to proceed with votes when candidates are posted.
Michael Schmidt (transcript also references “Michael Smith” in one segment) was nominated for an open planning commission seat; several council members noted his service and experience on the beer board and supported his appointment.
Council members recorded their support for the nominees during the roll-call-style confirmation process. Council agreed to consider an annual review of boards and commissions to check attendance and functionality.
