The Annapolis Rules and Government Committee on Thursday recommended reappointing multiple citizens to city boards and commissions, the committee chair said, forwarding the slate to the full City Council by voice vote.

The reappointments included Philip Taylor Chambers to the Ethics Commission; Jim Dozel and Jim Martin to boards noted in the meeting record; Lynn Farrow, Cynthia Coles Crucen and David Arthur to Arts in Public Places; Jennifer Beard to the Veil Service Board; and Diane Butler to the Planning Commission. Committee members voiced approval for each nomination one by one during the meeting.

Committee members said the nominees were familiar to the panel and that no formal objections were raised during the discussion. Philip Taylor Chambers’s full name was confirmed on the record when his appointment was discussed. Several motions to approve each reappointment were made and approved by voice vote; specific vote counts were not recorded in the transcript.

The chair noted that some nominations had been submitted by the mayor’s office. One committee member said there had been controversy around some nominees raised by former committee members, but that those former members had removed themselves and the committee proceeded to approve the reappointments.

All motions were handled individually and approved by voice vote; the committee did not identify any additional conditions or follow-up requirements for the nominees. The slate will be placed on the full City Council agenda for final action.
