Council approves meeting agenda and confirms several commission appointments
Summary
After reading the consent agenda and pulling several items for discussion, the council approved the meeting agenda, and the clerk announced selections for multiple commissions (appearance commission, human relations, participatory budgeting steering committee); one Open Space and Trails appointment initially tied 3-3 required a vote shift.
The mayor read the consent agenda, and several items were pulled for separate discussion. The city clerk reported a split 3-3 vote for an Open Space and Trails Commission vacancy and asked for a council member to change a vote; the mayor and clerk then announced the resulting appointments for several commissions.
The clerk announced the Durham City-County Appearance Commission appointees Lisonbee Steele and Caitlin Wheeler; Human Relations Commission appointees Scott Bridal and Shandra M. Jones; and Samuel F. Thomas for an at-large seat on the participatory budgeting steering committee. The clerk also reported that the Open Space and Trails Commission selection was ultimately decided following a vote adjustment.
A council member moved and another seconded a motion to approve the meeting agenda; the mayor called for ayes and the meeting was adjourned. No formal roll-call vote tally was recorded in the transcript for the agenda motion at the time it was announced.
