What happened: The committee considered four reappointment items at the start of the meeting and approved them by voice vote.

Why it matters: Reappointments maintain continuity on advisory commissions that advise the city in areas such as disability access, community education and biosafety.

The items recorded on the agenda and the committee action were:

Nathan Crisandieri — Reappointment to the Commission on Disability (nomination from Ward 2). Committee members approved the reappointment by voice vote; committee discussion described the item as a routine reappointment. At the time of votes, committee members counted six affirmative responses.

Steven Lobowicz — Reappointment to the Community Education Commission (listed as Ward 2). Motion moved by Councillor Oliver; the committee approved the reappointment by voice vote. Detailed roll call was not recorded in the transcript.

Harold W. Adams — Reappointment to the Community Education Commission. Motion moved and seconded; the committee approved the reappointment by voice vote.

William Dietrich — Reappointment to the Biosafety Committee (noted as Ward 8). Councillor Farrell moved approval; the committee recorded an affirmative voice vote with a 6–0 count recorded by the chair.

Meeting record: The committee handled these as routine housekeeping items before the departmental budget presentations; motions were moved and carried by voice vote.
