Summary

The board approved the chamber-recommended appointments of Jennifer Talley and Tracy Schmidt to the Tourism Development Authority; one commissioner voiced opposition to Schmidt's appointment but the motion carried by voice vote.

A tourism-development authority representative presented recommendations for two board appointments and the commissioners voted to approve both names. The presenter said the chamber had recommended Jennifer Talley and Tracy Schmidt and moved the board to accept those recommendations. "The chamber did make the recommendations for Jennifer Talley and also, Tracy Schmidt, to be appointed to the board," the presenter said.

During the vote, one commissioner explained an opposition to appointing Schmidt based on a desire for a cooling-off period when long-serving pastors or community members recently leave positions, but the motion passed after a second and the voice vote. The board recorded the appointments and moved on to the county attorney's report.
