Commission for Women cites open seats; League of Women Voters to decline representation
Summary
The commission reported the League of Women Voters will not send a representative and that a mayoral education appointee is pending paperwork; members discussed possible replacement organizations and next steps to forward names to the mayor and city council.
During the July 16 meeting the Michigan City Commission for Women reviewed current open appointments and vacancies and discussed next steps for filling seats.
President Nyla Williams reported the League of Women Voters will not be sending a representative and that the city is awaiting a written letter confirming that decision. The chair said the commission will forward any replacement suggestions to the mayor’s office for a formal appointment and possible city-council consideration if an ordinance or amendment to the commission’s roster is required.
Members discussed possible nonprofit organizations that could fill the vacancy and raised Minority Health Partners as one potential representative; the commission also noted a pending mayoral appointment for an education seat whose paperwork was expected to be completed before the next meeting. The commission asked staff to prepare the necessary materials and to introduce any newly appointed members by email before the next meeting.
No formal vote was required for the mayoral appointment process; members agreed to keep the seat list updated on the city website and return to the appointments item at the next meeting.
