Good morning, everyone.

We will call the committee on appointments to order at 8 a.m.

We have a rather short agenda this morning.

Just two or honestly, just one item here.

Uh when we'll begin with that, which is a resolution confirming Mayor LeGrand's appointment of Natasha Bletso as an alternate to the housing appeal board.

So moved.

Moved and supported conversation on this uh resolution, colleagues.

I will say uh Natasha has served before on uh the housing appeal board, and we are very thankful uh for her to be offering her uh service again for us.

That's always helpful when folks have history of the board of commission.

And I think I I really need to look at my email, Commissioner Isassi.

I believe I was Commissioner Isasi's appointment for the housing appeals board a few years ago.

So uh it's a very important board, and we just uh got an update, I think at public safety from the gentleman uh who work with the housing appeals board and um uh that those operations hoarding, they do so many things for the city.

So really thankful to have Miss Natasha's uh support on that board.

Okay, all those in favor.

Aye, aye, those opposed, motion carries.

And then Miss Bosker, if you could please lead us through a discussion on the current board and commission vacancy list.

Sure.

There haven't been many changes.

Um I do want to note that there is one resignation from the community relations commission that I added on last minute, so that will show with the um commission meeting packet tonight or this afternoon.

Um so then that means we have a couple of vacancies uh community relations commission now, and then we're still working through um quarter improvement authorities.

We've got some more applicants that are coming in, and I'm hoping to get that to the mayor this week in addition to um a draft head start on the end of year appointments and vacancies.

We've had a lot of applications for reappointment and dialogue with liaisons on um terms ending.

Wonderful.

Thank you, Miss

Bosker.

Comments, colleagues, yes, Commissioner

Beltrack.

Is is there um anything we can be doing as commissioners to further this?

I know that we look for people, we help vet people and then get them to apply.

But um, yeah, if there's any holdups or anything that's going on or things that we could uh facilitate, uh what what would that look like?

Um

are you thinking in terms of like vetting the sometimes delay

or well, like I know that we have one that's on delay for the storm wait, no not storm water, um civilian appeals board.

Um we're waiting on Vital Streets, Vital Street, I think Vital Streets.

So there's a couple that I you know, knowing those in advance that they're in delay so we can talk to our um applicants, but maybe um, you know, anything else that you can think of as we're going through this end of year process that we could be um helping facilitate.

I

don't think so.

Um we've had a batch of about 20 applications for reappointment already that are moving through vetting and it seems to be moving along.

Um sometimes there's holdups, but usually that's between the applicant and the vetting department, and not really

go

ahead.

No, finishing.

I was gonna say not really something that I even as the clerk's department get involved in.

Wonderful.

Thank you, Miss Bosker, and thank you for your question, Commissioner.

Any further comments, questions?

Commissioner Isassi?

Thank you.

Um, I think I just wanted to build upon that that comment and the question.

I think um maybe if we could look at who has meetings, right?

Because I know we moved some of the

we

moved some of the expiration dates to July, right, Becky.

Um that was Miss Bosker.

That was some of your efforts last year to really again think not just trying to get it done, but think strategically, which I think was really smart.

Um we have this.

Could we get a list of every boards that are terming out and the end of Jan or sorry, December?

And then let's see who has meetings in January.

So I think to, you know, uh, it's kind of I've never used Chat GPT, but I keep hearing you have to ask it sort of like a more detailed question.

And so I think you know, Commissioner Belchuk is asking a question.
