Title

Board/Commission Appointment(s) - Library Board

Recommended Action

I move that Council nominate and appoint Ryan Parker and Jason Alan Chappel to fill two vacancies on the Library Board to fill a term beginning on September 1, 2025 and ending August 31, 2027. 

 

I further move Council acknowledge that Jason Alan Chappel intends to continue serving on the Transportation Board while serving on the Library Board, Council finds these two positions are not incompatible, Council approves of him serving concurrently on two boards, and hereby appoints Jason Alan Chappel to the Library Board.

Body

The purpose of this item is to fill two vacancies on the Library Board.

 

The eligible applicants for these positions are: Ryan Parker [I] and Jason Alan Chappel [R]. Please note that Mr. Chappel currently serves on the Transportation Board so appointing him to the Library Board requires additional action to acknowledge Council's approval of serving on two boards concurrently.

 

This five member board has staggered two-year terms and is currently composed as follows:

 

Elizabeth Stelle [D]

Brian Reardon [I]

Michele Altherr [D]

 

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.

 

Appointing both of the nominees will not violate the County Charter restriction concerning political party majorities on Boards and Commissions.
