Commissioners, In the ever two part byzantine system that governs
commissioner nomination and then appointment, I just learned from the
clerk, that in order to be nominated and appointed for service for the
coming fiscal year, all prospective appointees need to be nominated by
March 22 to be on the May ballot. After our March 14 meeting, I received
and application from a very interesting prospect, a lawyer with an interest in
public art and art law (application attached) obviously there is not time for
the commission to meet and vet this individual. I have spoken to
him at length about the commission, our transitions, our working board nature,
strategic planning and heard him talk about his art law course, the public art controversy
case studies he reviewed and his interest in public art. I think he would
be a good fit for the commission. I want to endorse him to you and I hope
in turn you can vote by e-mail to recommend him for nomination. None of
us have met him and I have invited him to attend our planning session, which he
seems anxious to do. If we do not recommend him, his name will be
placed on the ballot anyway. Given the choice of non-recommended
applicants who could very well be appointed, I think it might be smart to fill
a seat with at least someone with the right kind of interest. The
commission still has the opportunity to withdraw their recommendation before
the May council vote. If he is recommended, that will make five recommended
seats (Small, I would like you to send me by tomorrow an e-mail with a yea
or nay vote to nominate for Andrew Gerschutz to the commission. This
could be rescinded in May, but if we don’t recommend this applicant now,
we can’t recommend him to be on the ballot. Jeffrey J. York Public Arts Administrator Town of Town Hall phone 919/968-2750 |
