Council confirms slate of appointments and reappointments; several nominees deferred
Summary
On March 17 the council confirmed numerous appointments and reappointments across Metro boards and commissions in a consolidated vote after committee reports; several nominees were deferred one meeting for interviews and scheduling reasons.
The Metropolitan Council confirmed a large consolidated slate of appointments and reappointments to Metro boards and commissions on March 17, approving nominees by consolidated motion after committee reports.
Chair Cash reported committee approvals (for example, Daniel Caparella to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission and the reappointment of Alicia Jones to the Civil Service Commission). The council used a consolidated confirmation vote for many items and allowed members to remove individual nominees for separate consideration; a small number of nominees were deferred for one meeting to accommodate interview scheduling.
Council proceeded with a consolidated motion to confirm the approved appointees; the vice mayor called for a voice vote, and the council adopted the consolidated slate. The council congratulated the appointees and thanked those in attendance. Members were directed to stand if present so they could be recognized at the end of the meeting.
Nominees that were deferred included Mira Esteban (property standards), Jeffrey Ezell (Sustainability Advisory Committee), Cesar Castro, Caroline Everett, and Council member Ewing (for specified committees) and Russ Pulley (withdrawn for the Sports Authority) as announced during chair reports. Confirmations included multiple Board of Equalization members, reappointments to the Planning Commission, and the Public Library Board appointment of Jarvis Rand.
