Worcester accessibility commission approves June minutes; staff to recommend 4'5 new members
Summary
The Accessibility Advisory Commission approved June minutes (roll-call vote: three ayes, two abstentions) and Patricia Lafore said staff expect to recommend 4 to 5 candidates to fill vacancies, with possible appointments in August pending City Council scheduling.
The Accessibility Advisory Commission voted to approve its June meeting minutes after a roll-call vote during the July session. Patricia Lafore announced the motion carried among members present who did not abstain; Vice Chair Liz Miska and member Steven Stolberg recorded abstentions, while John Finn, Dee Coruna and Kate McGrath voted aye.
Lafore told the commission that several seats are currently vacant and that she and staff member Kevin have interviewed multiple candidates. "We anticipate that we are presently close to suggesting 4 to 5 people for this board and commission," Lafore said, and added the goal is to have new members in place in short order, possibly in August, though she noted City Council schedule constraints could affect timing.
Members did not take a formal vote to appoint candidates at the meeting; Lafore said staff would prepare recommendations for submission to the City Council when ready. No specific candidate names were presented at the meeting.
