College Park council appoints Tanya Right to Board of Zoning and Appeals (Ward 2); Ward 1 appointee declines

The College Park City Council voted to appoint Tanya Right to the Board of Zoning and Appeals representing Ward 2 during a special-called meeting. The council made and seconded a nomination, and the motion carried.

Council discussion of appointments included a brief update on Ward One, where a councilmember reported that their appointee had declined the position because they and their family did not wish to be scrutinized by the community. The council said it will continue the nomination process and aim to fill the Ward One vacancy before the next meeting in August.

The appointment was handled as a routine council action: a nomination, a second and a vote that resulted in the motion carrying. The council adjourned shortly after completing the appointments and other agenda items.
