ECP Board Appointments

At last night's City Commission meeting, Commissioner Bronson recommended that Lee Ebeling (engineer) and John Gilbert (accountant) be appointed to fill the vacancies left by the resignations of Randy Gray and Donna Willey. The vote was 4-0 in favor. (Commissioner Beecher was absent).

What I found interesting was that of the three recommendations given by the ECP board, only one was considered by the commission, that of John Gilbert.

Am I being too optimistic to think that maybe this means the Commission is starting to break out of the "rubber stamp" mode they have been in for years?

Good luck to the new appointees and I hope they can ask the tough questions when needed.

Although the boards can recommend appointments, the commission appoints whom they choose. This is a good example.

I think that these people elected for board appointments , as they are professionals will perform very well.
Good luck!
