Secretary Brooks to resign from Carmel Redevelopment Commission after 12 years to join mayor’s advisory commission on veterans

Secretary Brooks announced at the Carmel Redevelopment Commission meeting that the mayor offered him a position on the mayor's advisory commission on veterans and military families and that he will resign his redevelopment commission seat when a replacement is appointed.

Brooks said he had expressed interest in serving on the mayor's veterans advisory commission and, after a phone call from the mayor, accepted the offer. He told colleagues he has served on the redevelopment commission for 12 years and will remain in place until a replacement is found. The executive director said the formal resignation will occur when a replacement is identified and that the commission will hold a ceremony to commemorate Brooks's service.

The commission president and other members thanked Brooks for his long service. There was no vote or formal personnel action at the meeting; Brooks’s formal resignation process will proceed once the city identifies a successor.
