Twenty-Four Commissioners were sworn in to their offices after the Council appointed them to their positions last Tuesday night. Among those twenty four were seven individuals selected to the represent the City on the newly created Social Services Commission designed to address concerns such as veterans affairs and homelessness.
The appointees to the respective Commissions were as follows:
Airport Commission – Anne O’ Brien
Cable TV Advisory Board – Maureen Mauk
Civil Service Commission – Bridget Lewis and Keith Montoya (Incumbent)
Commission on Aging – Kathleen Davis (Incumbent) and Bea Virobik (Incumbent)
Cultural Arts Commission – Jane Kang and Toni Sargent
Environmental Quality and Energy Conservation – John Stecker
Library Commission – Rosie Javaid and Raymond Lambert
Planning Commission – Sarah D’ Anjou (Incumbent) and Robert Rudolph
Social Services Commission – Robert Chiota, Jimmy Gow, Aurelio Mattucci, Mark Ragins, Mei-Ling See, Cindy Scotto, and Charlotte Svolos
Traffic Commission – Mario Obejas and Dan Thomas (Incumbent)
Water Commission – M. Kent Kawai (Incumbent) and Linden Nishinaga (Incumbent)
Several other members of the community had applied for Commission posts but were not selected at this time. Those not selected were Omar Navarro, Clint Paulson, Kay Grundhaus, Arthur Schaper, Scott E. Gobble, Shirley Jones, and Carol Jean Olney.
So the supposedly Republican councilman nominates and all vote on the most leftist person in town vs the BCR president. And they wonder why we don’t trust them!
Thanks for your comments. I was a little surprised myself. At least Clinton points out that six people did not get selected to commissions. I may try again next time. We shall see.
