Council reappoints Mark Goldberg to Municipal Property Corporation board after disclosure of family relation
Summary
The council reappointed Mark Goldberg to the town’s Municipal Property Corporation board for a term to expire June 1, 2029. A councilmember disclosed a familial relationship and offered to recuse; staff explained the corporation’s financing role.
The Quartzsite Town Council voted May 26 to reappoint Mark Goldberg to the Municipal Property Corporation board for a term ending June 1, 2029.
Staff explained the Municipal Property Corporation is a town-created nonprofit used intermittently to finance public improvements (for example, wastewater plant upgrades) and noted the position benefits from financial or legal experience. During discussion a councilmember disclosed a familial relationship to the nominee and stated they would recuse themselves from the decision if necessary; staff confirmed board members are unpaid volunteers. The council discussed marketing/recruitment practices for board openings and confirmed Goldberg’s experience working on previous matters involving municipal financing.
A motion to reappoint carried with no public opposition during the comment period. The transcript contained inconsistent name forms during the motion (a speaker said “Mark Holbert” in one exchange while other items and the motion referenced Mark Goldberg); the council’s action recorded in the minutes was to reappoint the person listed as Mark Goldberg.
Next steps: staff will complete reappointment paperwork and update the Municipal Property Corporation roster.
