Loading...
Summary
The board appointed Laura Orcutt as the public member, voted to make Mayor Deshaun Williams chair, and approved the March 4, 2025 minutes; motions were carried by voice vote with no roll-call tallies recorded in the transcript.
At the start of the Tax Increment Finance Joint Review Board meeting, members moved to appoint Laura Orcutt as the board’s public member. The chair called for a motion; Rachel Lenz moved to appoint Orcutt and Steve Summers seconded. The chair announced the ayes had it and the appointment carried.
The board then took up selection of a chairperson. A motion to appoint Mayor Deshaun Williams as chair was made, seconded, and approved by voice vote; the transcript records the motion and the chair’s announcement that the ayes carried, but the recording does not unambiguously identify the mover and seconder.
The board also approved draft minutes from the March 4, 2025 TIF JRB meeting after a motion to approve was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote. The transcript records that Steve Summers moved to approve the minutes and that the motion carried; the seconder’s name is unclear in the recording.
There were no public comments during the public‑comment portion of the meeting. After administrative business concluded, the chair declared the meeting adjourned.
