Panel advances two reappointments to Heritage Conservation Trust Fund
Summary
The House Agriculture & Natural Resources Committee moved two gubernatorial reappointments — Michael Frick and Drew Goddard — to calendar and rules after brief remarks; both measures passed the committee by unanimous recorded voice votes.
Chairman Todd and committee members advanced two gubernatorial reappointments for the Heritage Conservation Trust Fund during the committee's opening business.
Representative Gillespie introduced Michael Frick as the governor's nominee for reappointment, citing a 41-year Bank of America career and community volunteer leadership. "I've really enjoyed serving on the trust board," Frick told members, and the committee heard a brief statement from Drew Goddard, who described his multi‑decade service as board chair and his background in environmental law. After members asked no further questions, the clerk recorded 15 ayes and 0 nays on HJR 0879 and on ACR 881; both measures moved to calendar and rules.
Why it matters: The Heritage Conservation Trust Fund provides state funding for land and resource preservation projects; the committee's favorable roll calls send both reappointments to the next legislative stage for consideration. The nominees emphasized long service and experience on conservation matters in their brief remarks.
