Council delays DDA appointments, sets application window and interview date
Summary
Council agreed to postpone Downtown Development Authority appointments until June to allow a full application process; applications will be accepted through June 12 with interviews/appointments planned for the June 18 meeting.
The council discussed the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) appointments during new business and reached a consensus to run a full application process and delay appointments until June.
Council members said the DDA oversees significant funds and merited additional scrutiny. The clerk and staff agreed to post the application starting immediately and accept applications through June 12 at 5 PM; interviews and appointments are planned for the June 18 council meeting.
Council members emphasized keeping a seven-member board, filling the three current or soon-to-be-open seats in June, and avoiding short interim appointments that would require immediate reappointment.
Why it matters: the DDA manages downtown projects and funds; a deliberate application and vetting process aims to ensure qualified appointees and public confidence.
