Northampton County reviews slate of advisory-board appointments and reappointments
Summary
County council committees on March 18, 2026 reviewed appointments and reappointments to several advisory boards — including aging, jail, mental-health, parks and revenue appeals — listing nominees and proposed term dates; no questions or formal votes were recorded during the meeting.
The Northampton County committee meeting on March 18, 2026 included a readout of appointments and reappointments for multiple county advisory boards, with proposed terms beginning March 20, 2026.
The personnel committee read a slate that included appointments to the Area Agency on Aging Advisory Council (Victoria Scribe, Kim Mayle, Sandy Vocono); reappointments to the Jail Advisory Board (Joshua Robinson, Jody Reggio); a mental-health and early-intervention advisory-board appointment (Tiffany Castillo, LPC); reappointments for the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Advisory Board (Melody Christopher, Stephanie Green); several reappointments to the Revenue Appeals Board (Doran Hamann, Ronald Lutz, Thomas Sider, John Weiss); and an appointment to the Workforce Board of the Lehigh Valley (Sarah Biggs). The speaker provided addresses and proposed term lengths (most two-year terms, with Castillo noted for a three-year term).
Committee members did not ask substantive questions about the nominees during the personnel committee portion of the meeting, and the chair moved on to the next agenda item. The transcript records that these items were on the agenda and did not require motions that evening; no roll-call votes or formal approvals were recorded in the meeting text.
Why it matters: advisory-board appointments shape which residents and professionals advise county decision-makers on aging services, jail oversight, mental-health programming and parks planning. The terms read into the record would put many start dates at March 20, 2026, and most slated end dates in 2028 or 2029.
Next steps: the appointments were presented for concurrence; the transcript does not record final votes or administrative confirmations in this meeting. The committee adjourned before returning to these items.
