Park board appointments tabled; Council asks staff to rewrite committee requirements
Summary
Council discussed two Park Board applicants and decided to table appointments pending a policy rewrite that would remove a junior-high student slot and allow appointing both candidates.
Council considered two applicants for the Park Board — Tina Potter and Elizabeth Bybee — and indicated support for appointing both. Councilmember Scott Potter abstained from that portion of the meeting due to the applicant share of surname; Council chose to table the appointment pending a rewrite of the Park Board policy to remove the junior-high student seat and adjust membership requirements.
Tim Smith moved and Dave Wollin seconded a motion to table the appointment until the policy is rewritten; the motion carried 4-0. A subsequent motion directed Administrator Teresa Hill to rework the Park Board advisory committee requirements, and that motion carried 5-0. Council members noted the candidates’ community involvement and asked staff to return with updated policy language next month.
