Rohnert Park council fills regional seats: Elward, Jud, Kelly and others named
Summary
The council nominated and approved city representatives to several regional boards and advisory committees, including Jackie Elward to the North Bay division seat and Gerard Jud and Ariel Kelly to SMART seats; most motions carried by voice vote.
Rohnert Park’s City Council on Feb. 11 nominated and approved representatives for a slate of regional and county bodies that represent the city’s interests on transportation, open space and other regional matters.
Actions taken included a nomination and approval of Jackie Elward to serve on the North Bay Division of the League of California Cities and support for Frank Quin (Quin) for the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation & Open Space District citizens advisory committee. Gerard Jud and Ariel Kelly were nominated for two Sonoma‑Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) seats (one seat requires SCTA membership); Victoria Fleming was nominated for the non‑SCTA SMART seat. The council also advanced a nomination from Brian Barnacle for a Bay Area Air Quality Management District seat and supported Jackie Elward for the Sonoma County Consolidated Oversight Board appointment.
Most appointments were approved by voice vote without recorded objections; a few items were discussed by council members before affirmation. Councilmembers noted that staff had circulated letters of interest and that the city selection committee/Mayors and Council Members Association would consider late nominations at an upcoming meeting.
The appointments give Rohnert Park seats at several regional tables that influence transportation, air quality, open‑space funding and other interjurisdictional programs.
