Title
Board/Commission Appointment(s) - Personnel Board.
Recommended Action
I recommend the following applicants for re-appointment to the Personnel Board: Terry Priestly (I) and Larry Warner (R).
If Terry Priestley is considered for re-appointment, Council will need to take a second action to acknowledge and approve concurrent membership on the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Personnel Board. (Mr. Priestley's current term on the Planning and Zoning Commission ends March 31, 2021).
I move Council acknowledge that Terry Priestley intends to continue serving on the Planning and Zoning Commission while serving on the Personnel Board, Council finds these two positions not incompatible, Council approves of him serving concurrently on both boards, and hereby appoints Terry Priestley to the Personnel Board.
Body
The purpose of this item is to fill two of three vacancies on the Personnel Board which were created by the expiration of Mr. Priestly's and Mr. Warner's terms that ended on March 31, 2020. These re-appointments would be second terms for each of the nominees and would begin April 1, 2020 and expire on March 31, 2023.
As of March 31st, the board no longer has a quorum. By filling these vacancies it will allow the board to continue with a quorum in order to address employee appeal hearings.
The five-member board has staggered three-year terms beginning April 1st and ending March 31st. Party affiliations are noted as [D] Democrat, [R] Republican, [ I ] Independent, [G] Green, [L] Libertarian, [DTS] Declined to State, and [N] Not Registered to Vote. Re-appointing the nominees will not violate the County Charter restriction concerning political party majorities on Boards and Commissions. The board is currently composed as follows:
Position 1. VACANT
Position 2. Laurance (Larry) Warner [R]
Position 3. Bernadine Goldman [D]
Position 4. Terry Priestly [ I ]
Position 5. Kenneth (Mike) Cleveland [D]
