Medelia names acting mayor, attorney and considers combining park, pool and golf commissions
Summary
The council recorded 2026 appointments including Acting Mayor Andy Gapa and Attorney Patrick Casey, listed key administrative contacts and discussed an ordinance change to merge park, pool and golf commissions into a single parks master-plan commission.
Medelia’s workshop included routine administrative items: appointment confirmations, publication and deposit designations, and a proposal to consolidate several commissions into a single parks planning body.
The council recorded Acting Mayor Andy Gapa and Attorney Patrick Casey among the 2026 appointments and confirmed official financial depositories and the official city publication for notices. Election dates for 2026 were stated: the primary on Aug. 11 and the general on Nov. 3.
Why it matters: Commission structure affects how the city coordinates parks, pools and golf-course planning. A council member proposed combining the park, pool and golf commissions into a single parks master-plan commission; staff said this will require an ordinance amendment and recommended not filling current park/pool vacancies until the structure is finalized.
Next steps: Staff will prepare an ordinance amendment for council consideration and discuss terms and at-large membership limits; council members were asked to confirm whether current golf-commission appointees would accept roles on a merged commission if it is established.
