Committee recommends Kevin Woods and Carl Person for MLGW board seats
Summary
The Personnel & Government Affairs committee on Jan. 27 recommended the appointment of Kevin Woods and the reappointment of Carl Person to the Memphis Light, Gas and Water board, praising their experience and voting to forward both with a favorable recommendation.
The Personnel & Government Affairs committee recommended two MLGW board candidates to move forward Jan. 27: a mayoral nomination of Kevin Woods and the reappointment of Carl Person.
Doug McGowan introduced the candidates, saying Woods is a public servant with prior city service and school‑board experience and that Person has served on the MLGW board since March 2022 and "hasn't missed a meeting unless he was doing bidding on behalf of MLGW," McGowan said, praising both for readiness to help guide utility oversight.
Committee members voiced support during the introduction: Dr. Warren and others described both men as experienced and effective board candidates. The committee moved both nominations forward with a same‑night minute request and a favorable recommendation to the council floor.
What’s next: the appointments will go to the council floor for formal confirmation during the next scheduled meeting cycle.
