The Personnel & Government Affairs committee recommended two MLGW board candidates to move forward Jan. 27: a mayoral nomination of Kevin Woods and the reappointment of Carl Person.
Doug McGowan introduced the candidates, saying Woods is a public servant with prior city service and school‑board experience and that Person has served on the MLGW board since March 2022 and "hasn't missed a meeting unless he was doing bidding on behalf of MLGW," McGowan said, praising both for readiness to help guide utility oversight.
Committee members voiced support during the introduction: Dr. Warren and others described both men as experienced and effective board candidates. The committee moved both nominations forward with a same‑night minute request and a favorable recommendation to the council floor.
What’s next: the appointments will go to the council floor for formal confirmation during the next scheduled meeting cycle.
