Background and Analysis:
The General Government Committee interviewed Ms. Kelly at its May 18, 2016, meeting and recommends appointment to fill a vacancy on the Heritage Commission with a term ending March 31, 2018. The Heritage Commission chair joined the General Government Committee for the interview.
Earlier this year the General Government Committee also interviewed Jan Vleck to possibly serve on the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC). While not appointed initially, a vacancy has occurred on BPAC, so the Committee recommends appointing Mr. Vleck at this time.
The applicants’ applications and resumes are attached.
