This committee will consist of eleven members with each commissioner and mayor appointing one representative.
So far, the following have been appointed and accepted:
District 1: Retha Lowe
District 2: Dena McCracken
District 3: Helen Green
District 4: John Rinaldi
Mayor: Appointment to be voted upon at the October 4 meeting.
On August 2, 2011, the Commission voted on the following:
A motion was made by Vice Mayor Mulvehill and seconded by Commissioner Golden to approve the creation of this committee; each commission member to appoint one member; appoint a representative from the Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Business Alliance, Neighborhood Association, Lake Worth Marketing and Re-Branding Task Force, a member from a Pioneer family; Palm Beach County Convention and Visitors Bureau and Cultural Council and appoint a liaison to the committee. The vote was 4/0 with McVoy absent.
Why is it taking so long for the Mayor to name her appointee to the Centennial Committee?
ReplyDeleteIt's tricky. You want to appoint just the right person with just the balance of respect within the community--someone with a big interest in our history...a long time resident would be my choice. Dena is a life-time resident of LW so that's a good one. Helen Greene is certainly an historian. They are all good choices so far. As long as they appoint a member of a Pioneer family, I will be happy.
ReplyDeleteShe wants to get reelected before she appoints Cara
ReplyDeleteHow does John Rinaldi represent District 4 when his business and residence are both in District 3?
ReplyDeleteSorry--the way I listed the appointments was to attribute the appointment to that particular district commissioner, not the district. It is misleading the way in which I wrote it.
ReplyDeleteRetha Lowe? Really? Lowe must represent the years of corruption that the citizens have had to put up with over the last 100 years.She sure doen't represent the hard working honest people of Lake Worth!!
