The Sarasota City Commission moved to fill a single vacancy on the Newtown CRA Advisory Board and reached consensus to select Charles Walker after nominations from commissioners.

"I nominate Charles Walker," the Vice Mayor said. Commissioner Battee seconded the nomination. Commissioners expressed general support and the Mayor welcomed Walker to the advisory board. The selection was recorded by consensus; no roll-call vote appears in the transcript.
