Tuesday night the Wake Forest
commissioners, using secret ballots,
appointed and re-appointed people to the
town’s advisory boards. Although there
were fewer applicants than in the past,
only one vacant seat, on the urban
forestry board, remains.
Board of Adjustment:
Tom Litteton’s term was the only one
expiring and he asked to be reappointed
as an out-of-town member. The vote was
to recommend his reappointment by the
county commissioners for a two-year
term.
Cemetery Board: Frank
Smith and John Mills were reappointed
for three year terms, and Kelly Baker
Williams, a lifetime resident who has
family buried in the cemetery, was
appointed to a vacant seat for a
three-year term.
Human Relations Council:
Stephanie Jenny, Tim Roth and Glendine
King-Jeffreys were reappointed to
three-year terms, and Tenice Caudle was
appointed to fill the vacant seat with a
term that ends in December of this year.
Caudle, who was out of town
when the other applicants were
interviewed by the board, was
interviewed briefly at the start of
Tuesday night’s meeting. “I have lived
here all my life, twenty-five years,”
she said. After she finished college and
returned to Wake Forest, she said, she
determined “I wanted to make a
difference in my hometown.” She would
like to bridge the communications gap
between residents and town government.
Parks and Recreation:
Chairman Thomas Hodges Jr., David
Faircloth and Tom Shipman were
reappointed for three-year terms, and
Earl Creutzburg and Jim Thompson were
appointed to the two unexpired terms
which both end in December of 2008.
Planning Board: The
only applicant to fill Speed
Massenburg’s out-of-town seat was Sarah
Bridges. The Wake Forest commissioners
voted to recommend her appointment to a
two-year term by the county
commissioners.
Senior Center Board:
Chairman Hope Newsom, a former town
commissioner, Bonita Sharpee and Wanda
Mukherjee were reappointed to three-year
terms, and Donald Daria was appointed to
the vacant seat with a term that ends
December of this year.
Urban Forestry Board:
Pete Jordan was reappointed to a
three-year term, and Donald Daria was
appointed to fill one of the two vacant
seats. He also will have a three-year
term.
By an oversight, there was
no vote for the historic preservation
commission, but it will be taken in
February. |
