Bowie honors longtime finance director Byron Matthews and confirms several committee appointments
Summary
Council presented a proclamation honoring Byron Matthews for 32 years of service; the council also appointed and swore in members to several advisory committees, including the Environmental Advisory Committee and Public Safety Committee.
The Bowie City Council recognized Byron Matthews on Jan. 5 with a council proclamation marking 32 years of service in the city's finance department. Matthews thanked residents and staff in brief remarks; multiple council members praised his professionalism and long-term stewardship of the city's finances.
Council then moved through a set of appointments and oath-taking: Valerie Mickels was appointed to the Environmental Advisory Committee for a two-year term, Sherry Cook to the Public Safety Committee for a two-year term, and Wendy (name in transcript spelled Pahlhas/Pahlhas) to the Diversity Advisory Committee for a two-year term. Each appointment was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote, and appointees took the oath of office during the meeting.
Next steps: Appointees will serve two-year regular-member terms on their respective committees; staff will process documentation and committee assignments.
