Council appoints Karen Jones to View Restoration Committee to restore quorum
Summary
Facing a single applicant for two vacancies, the Laguna Beach City Council appointed Karen Jones to the View Restoration Committee to help ensure the panel can meet; the nominating council member said they had "worked with her over the years" and clarified she is not related to them.
The Laguna Beach City Council appointed Karen Jones to the View Restoration Committee after the clerk reported there was one applicant for two vacancies.
A council member nominated Karen Jones, saying, "I've worked with her over the years." When asked whether the nominee was related to the nominator, the nominator replied, "She is not related to me." Council members then took a roll-call vote and recorded unanimous "yes" votes; the appointment was approved.
The clerk explained the practical reason for the nomination: the committee currently has only three members and may be unable to meet if one member is absent, so filling the seat helps preserve the committee's ability to operate. The council provided no additional conditions or amendments to the appointment.
