Unlike the ugly actions by the Mayor two years ago, the appointments for alders for this year came out with the agenda. Here’s some of the changes. This Mayor usually appoints the new alders to many of the same appointments as the old alders – but not always. So, here’s some of the changes/items of interest you can look for.
– Mike Verveer still on Alcohol License Review Committee
– Thuy Pham-Remmele off Community Development Block Grant, replaced by Shiva Bidar-Sielaff
– Thuy Pham-Remmele on Commission on People with Disabilities (??)
– Mark Clear off Board of Education Liaison with Shiva Bidar-Sielaff on.
– Board of Estimates will be appointed after they know who the Council President and Pro Tem are at the noon meeting.
– Michael Schumacher on Housing Committee instead of Bryon Eagon
– Satya Rhodes-Conway off Metropolitan Planning Organization and Long Range Transportation Planning Commission, Steven King and Chris Schmidt on.
– Marsha Rummel on Madison Arts Commission
– Paul Skidmore out of the doghouse and back on Parks Commission
– Bryon Eagon, not Shiva on Ped, Bike Motor Vehicle Commission. Bridget Maniaci also appointed to a second alternate position.
– Michael Schumacher on Plan Commission.
– Lauren Cnare on Senior Citizens Advisory Committee
– Steve King on Solid Waste Advisory Committee
– Chris Schmidt (not Shiva Bidar-Sielaff) on Transit and Parking Commission
– Lauren Cnare off Zoining Code Rewrite, Julia Kerr and Satya Rhodes-Conway will be joined by Steve King and Chris Schmidt.
Nothing earth shattering, but a few changes.
