Commissioners appoint members to TIRZ boards and direct policy committee to widen outreach
Summary
The court appointed Gary Pitner to tiers 1 and David Walker to tiers 2 and directed the policy committee to develop a public-notice process so vacancies are more widely advertised.
The court discussed a proposal to create a more formal, public-facing process for announcing and soliciting applications for county board and TIRZ appointments. One commissioner said current practice funnels nominations through a single person and asked the policy committee to develop a way to notify residents broadly.
After discussion the court voted to appoint Gary Pitner to tiers 1 and David Walker to tiers 2. Commissioners asked staff to work with city counterparts to share application templates and review options for broader outreach and application collection so that citizen appointments are not made only by personal contact.
The court’s direction asks the policy committee to prepare proposed language and a notification process for future vacancies and board appointments.
