Staff (speaker S2) reviewed current openings across Bryan's advisory boards and commissions, noting vacancies on the Bryan Brazos County Economic Development Foundation, the Cemetery Advisory Board, Community Development Advisory Committee alternates, Parks and Recreation, and the Senior Advisory Committee. Council discussed nominees and timing rather than taking immediate votes.

Later, councilmembers named Debbie Schmitz and Michelle Bright as candidates for two Parks & Recreation slots. Staff and council also discussed reappointing Rick Starnes to Place 3 on the Senior Advisory Committee; the council agreed to reappoint him and to postpone several other board appointments (including the Bryan Brazos County Economic Development Foundation and the Cemetery Advisory Board) until January to allow further review.
