Committee Chair called the appointments committee to order and asked Miss Bosker to review the Dec. 2 vacancy list. Miss Bosker reported no immediate appointments and flagged upcoming vacancies: MobileGR (4 seats), Planning Commission (a couple), Community Relations (a couple), Urban Agriculture (4). She described a plan to stagger economic development board term end dates so some reappointments at next meeting will have June 30 end dates (4.5-year term) to reduce simultaneous turnover.
The Grand Rapids City Commission held multiple committee meetings Dec. 2, 2025, reviewing board/commission vacancies, approving fiscal items (contracts, budget substitutions, salary ordinances), agreeing to a local share for a bridge reconstruction, advancing several economic development requests (industrial district/abatement, Brownfield amendment), launching a national search for the next city attorney, and directing staff to draft a potential noise ordinance to limit amplified sound near medical facilities.
