Council debates timing of Brewton Library Board committee appointments
Summary
Mayor Nolte proposed appointing Councilors Jennings and Barton to a committee for the Brewton Library Board; councilmembers debated whether to appoint now or defer to allow the committee to vet candidates and confirm willingness to serve.
Mayor Nolte proposed creating a committee for the Brewton Library Board and said he would appoint Councilor Jennings and Councilor Barton to that committee. "Next item on the agenda is appointing a committee for the, Bruton Library Board, and I'm gonna appoint councilwoman councilor Jennings and councilor Barton for that," the mayor said.
Councilmembers expressed differing views about whether to finalize appointments immediately or to delay two weeks so the committee could bring back names and ensure candidates wanted to serve. One councilmember said, "I'd like for us to do 2 weeks and bring it back" and another noted that the committee should do outreach, suggesting the mayor's pre-contact with a candidate should not replace the committee's vetting role. The mayor said he had already spoken to a candidate and that the person was interested.
The transcript ends with the council agreeing to wait and the mayor adjourning the meeting. The final appointment wording (formal motion/vote) for the library committee was not recorded in the provided excerpt.
