Commissioners appoint Chris Williams to JCAB board for three-year term

Kenneth Fick, director of juvenile services, recommended that the commission appoint Chris Williams to a recently opened general position on the JCAB board so Williams can continue serving as the board chair.

"He is retiring on September 30," Fick said, explaining why the appointment and term length needed clarification. Fick asked the commission to appoint Williams to the open general position so Williams could remain chair.

A commissioner moved to accept the recommendation and the motion was seconded; the commissioners voted to approve the appointment. Fick said, "The this term will be for 3 years." The transcript records the motion, the second and affirmative responses but does not include a full individual roll-call tally in a single consolidated list.

The appointment fills a recently opened general position on JCAB; the transcript does not specify whether any background materials or alternative nominees were presented at this meeting. The commission then proceeded to other agenda items and to a budget work session.
