Introduced at Budget, Finance and Governance. The Council President explained his two Council appointees (a former county legislator and a retired public- and nonprofit-sector executive); members questioned the selection process and one said she would not support it as it stood, and another asked for an academic pay-equity member. Michael A. Patterson urged members to stay away from the commission's work. The item was held that day.
Council discharged Int. 376 from committee and adopted the appointments 7 to 2. Two members voted no, asking for outside pay and academic expertise on the panel; the sponsor said Council had waited eight months and suggestions can go to the commission chair.
