Committee forwards towing‑fees advisory board appointments — reappointment and new applicant recommended to council
Pamela Nichols, Council Management Analyst, presented applications for two vacancies on the Advisory Board for the Assessment of Towing Fees and the Storage of Vehicles. Nichols said the board has one vacancy designated for a police‑department representative and had received a reappointment application from Lieutenant Johnny McRory II; the city also received an application from Aban Thomas to fill the towing and recovery operator seat vacated by a resignation.

Nichols summarized the applications and recommended forwarding both names to full council. Committee members moved, seconded and voted to forward the recommendations to council with a recommendation to approve; the roll call recorded Member Applebaum (Aye) and Chairwoman Trammell (Aye), and the motion was approved by the committee.

No public commenters spoke on the item during the meeting. The committee’s action was procedural: it forwarded the appointments to council for final confirmation rather than making direct appointments at the committee level.

Clarifying details: the advisory board concerns towing‑fee assessments and vehicle storage; Lieutenant Johnny McRory II submitted a reappointment application; Aban Thomas applied to fill a towing and recovery operator vacancy resulting from a resignation. The committee recorded a motion to forward the recommendations to council and the committee vote was recorded as “Aye” by Member Applebaum and Chair Trammell.
