Pierce County Council approves consent agenda, confirms appointees including Tacoma Narrows advisory members
Summary
The council approved the consent agenda 6-0, confirming appointees and reappointments to boards and commissions including William (Marty) Heckler's reappointment and new/applicant remarks from Tim Mercurio and Ivy Roberts.
Pierce County Council approved its consent agenda Feb. 24 by a 6-0 roll call vote, confirming a slate of appointments and reappointments to county boards and commissions.
Council member Denson moved to approve the consent agenda; the motion was seconded and the clerk recorded six ayes, zero nays. The consent agenda listed one set of minutes, four resolutions and one grant application and included appointees and nominees for multiple advisory bodies.
Applicants who spoke in support of their nominations included William (Marty) Heckler, who said he is seeking reappointment to the Tacoma Narrows Airport Advisory Committee and is currently the committee's vice chairman: "I'm seeking reappointment for another 4 years... I'm currently the vice chairman." Tim Mercurio, another Tacoma Narrows applicant, said he first engaged with the committee because of noise concerns and described wanting to be part of solutions rather than only complain. Ivy Roberts introduced herself remotely as an applicant to the Pierce County Citizens Advisory Group and described wanting to support county services.
Mary Ann Lincoln, appearing by Zoom, said she has worked with descendants of Fort Nisqually employees and tribes and looks forward to bringing that perspective to the Pierce County Landmarks and Historic Preservation Commission.
Council members praised volunteers and emphasized the value of advisory bodies in bringing street-level knowledge to county policymaking. The council's roll-call approval concluded the consent agenda.
