Camas council reshuffles assignments; one appointment motion fails in roll-call votes
Summary
Council votes May 4 changed committee assignments, approved removing a member from JPAC and appointing another; a separate motion to appoint a Mayor Pro Tem failed in a roll-call vote before the council approved the Mayor’s assignments as amended.
The Camas City Council debated and voted on a set of council assignments May 4, with multiple roll-call votes recorded.
Council approved an agenda change to remove Council Member Tim Hein from the Joint Policy Advisory Committee (JPAC) and appoint Council Member Martin Elzingre to that committee. That motion passed on a recorded roll call (Boerke—Yes; Elzingre—Yes; Eshghi—Yes; Hein—Yes; Nohr—Yes; Senescu—Yes; Svilarich—No). Later, a motion by Council Member John Svilarich to appoint Council Member Marilyn Boerke to Mayor Pro Tem and himself to JPAC failed (Boerke—Yes; Elzingre—No; Eshghi—No; Hein—No; Nohr—No; Senescu—No; Svilarich—Yes). The council then voted to remove the Mayor Pro Tem and Mayor Pro Tem Alternate appointment and ultimately approved the Mayor’s Council Assignments as amended (final motion carried; recorded votes noted in the minutes).
The recorded votes indicate a divided view among members on the specific appointment; the final approval of assignments proceeded after the failed motion.
