HRC votes to ask City Council to reassign liaison after recent challenges
Summary
The City of York Human Relations Commission voted to request that City Council assign a new council liaison at its next meeting after commissioners noted prior challenges to recent reappointments. The motion passed by voice vote with a majority of commissioners voting yes.
The City of York Human Relations Commission voted June 15 to ask the City Council to reassign a new council liaison at the council's next meeting.
The motion, made and seconded during new business, passed after a roll-call-style voice vote in which Commissioners Mina Edmonson, Karen Crosby, Maline Torres, John Easter and Jason Quiry recorded their support. The chair summarized the result as a majority: "There is half plus one," and the motion was accepted.
Commissioners had earlier been informed that five commissioners — Quiry, Crosby, Torres, Easter and Edmonson — were reappointed to another HRC term and that those reappointments had been challenged by Council member Supler. The request for a new liaison was presented as a formal way to reset the HRC–Council connection; no additional debate or amendment was recorded in the meeting transcript.
The commission also approved routine meeting minutes earlier in the session by motion and voice vote; the transcript does not record a formal tally for that vote.
The commission concluded the agenda by adjourning the meeting; no follow-up schedule for the liaison request was recorded in the transcript.
