Public raises concerns about advisory appointments; staff outlines application process

Brandon Moore of 01st Street North urged greater transparency in the advisory‑board appointment process, saying he was surprised that a long‑time Florence Villa business owner was overlooked for an advisory seat and that recent appointments may not reflect downtown business representation. "I think that the Florence Veil CRA is gonna benefit greatly from mister Pittman's, appointment," Moore said, adding that the selection raised questions about how candidates are chosen and what qualifications are required.
