Committees: Pretty Much Status Quo

Mayor Mark Mallory announced today which council members will lead which committees.

Mostly, it'll be the same after the swearing-in Saturday as it is now:

Chris Bortz: economic development
Laketa Cole: neighborhoods
Jeff Berding: rules
Cecil Thomas: law
John Cranley: finance

Two changes: Chris Monzel, who's now chairman of the education committee, moves to Arts, Culture, Tourism, Marketing, & Technology; and Vice Mayor David Crowley takes Education, Health & Environment.

There was some tinkering with the topics in each committee, too. Technology was added to arts, health went with education and environment, and recreation switched to Cole's Vibrant Neighborhoods, Recreation & Public Services.

Monzel's the only Republican with a committee chairmanship. Bortz is the only Charterite with one.



Roxanne Qualls remains chairwoman of council's only subcommittee - Transportation & Infrastructure. It's a subcommittee of the finance, economic development and neighborhoods committees.
