Sullivan to remain on CodeNEXT Advisory Group
Tuesday, September 22, 2015 by Elizabeth Pagano
In a vote of 3-0-1, the Planning and Neighborhoods Committee selected Dave Sullivan as its appointment to the CodeNEXT Advisory Group. Sullivan is the current chair of the group (in addition to being the former chair of the Planning Commission and serving on many other city commissions). Though Mayor Pro Tem Kathie Tovo didn’t vote against the appointment, she abstained from the vote. “I probably would have preferred to take a little more time to evaluate the names we had before us and give it consideration over the next month,” said Tovo, who explained that her abstention was “certainly not out of any lack of confidence in Dave Sullivan. … I certainly have a lot of respect for his viewpoints.” Tovo had three of her own nominees: Jeff Jack, Nuria Zaragoza and Jim Duncan, all of whom are also current members of the group.
