Committee unanimously moves two Corrections Information Council nominees to the consent block
Summary
The Committee on the Judiciary and Public Safety unanimously approved moving two renomination resolutions for the Corrections Information Council—PR26-635 (Prischelle Shannon) and PR26-638 (Natasha Dasher)—to the consent block with staff directed to make technical edits.
The Committee on the Judiciary and Public Safety, chaired by Councilmember Brooke Pinto, moved two renomination resolutions for the Corrections Information Council to the consent block and approved them unanimously on voice vote. Pinto told the committee the resolutions—PR26-635 and PR26-638—were introduced by Chairman Mendelson at the mayor’s request in early April.
Pinto summarized the CIC’s role, saying it was created by Congress in 1997 to inspect the District’s correctional facilities and to advise federal and local correctional authorities on conditions of confinement. “Without objection, we will move these 2 nominees for the CIC governing board and block,” Pinto said before asking for leave for staff to make technical, editorial and conforming changes. After noting Councilmember Donnie Crawford had joined, Pinto called for a voice vote; committee members answered “aye,” and Pinto declared the motions approved unanimously. The committee recessed and plans to reconvene shortly for an oversight hearing covering OVSJG, DOC, Fire and EMS.
