Council appoints Michael McCoy to Historic Preservation Commission; two named to PSVS oversight committee

The Bakersfield City Council approved a slate of advisory appointments on April 8.

For item 3A, the clerk announced Michael McCoy as the apparent winner of the at‑large appointment to the Historic Preservation Commission. Council Member Smith moved to appoint Michael McCoy to the commission; the motion was approved. The clerk noted the internal electronic count showed McCoy as the apparent winner with three votes; the clerk also stated that Council Members Core, Gonzalez and Weir were absent from that count and that Council Member Basher abstained from the internal selection process.

Under item 3B, Council Member Arius nominated Noi Garcia for the Ward 1 seat on the Public Safety & Vital Services (PSVS) citizens oversight committee and Council Member Smith, on behalf of Council Member Gonzalez, nominated Alisa Reid for the Ward 2 seat. Council moved and approved the two appointments.

The clerk announced the votes and the council welcomed the new appointees. No further discussion or contested nominations were recorded in the transcript.
