Belgrade council approves mayoral appointments; Samantha Adams named to Police Commission
Summary
At its March 2 meeting, the Belgrade City Council approved the mayor’s appointments to advisory boards, including the nomination of Samantha Adams to the Police Commission; the Board of Adjustments nominee was not present. The votes were unanimous.
The Belgrade City Council unanimously approved the mayor’s advisory-board appointments at its March 2 meeting, including naming Samantha Adams to the Belgrade Police Commission.
Adams, who the mayor introduced as a community member with 25 years in Belgrade and five children in local schools, addressed the council before the vote. "If I am appointed to this position, I am excited and committed to working with Belgrade Police Department and our community," Adams said. "I look forward to supporting our officers while promoting accountability and community trust, fostering transparency, and strengthening the bond between our officers and our community."
The mayor also announced a nominee for the Belgrade Board of Adjustments (presented in the meeting as "Carl Harold" or "Harold Carl"). That applicant was not in attendance. After no public comments, a council member moved to adopt the mayor’s appointments; the motion was seconded by Councilmember Jim Simon and approved unanimously.
Why it matters: The Police Commission provides citizen oversight and advisory input to the city’s law enforcement policies. The council’s confirmation fills a vacancy on the commission and puts an applicant into the pipeline for advisory review and future meetings.
What’s next: The appointments were approved at the meeting and the council moved on to other agenda items. The record did not specify effective dates or orientation timing for the new commission member.
