Parks and Rec Board sparsely populated
Friday, March 29, 2019 by Jessi Devenyns
The March 26 meeting of the Parks and Recreation Board barely made a quorum thanks to terms expiring and Council members rotating. With no sitting chair or vice chair to run the meeting, the task was left up to Assistant Parks and Recreation Director Anthony Segura. As the first order of business, Segura went through the remaining tenures of each of the board members. Since the February meeting, Board members Randy Mann and Rick Cofer have resigned and Frank Ward is serving on a 60-day extension that will expire on April 28. Nina Rinaldi is the new representative for District 1 and is replacing former Chair Jane Rivera. Michael Casias in District 3 was replaced by Kate Mason-Murphy.
