New Town fiscal year means new Farragut Committee appointees
For the second consecutive meeting, Farragut’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen discussed and approved Town Committee appointments Thursday, June 24.
Mary Cook and Mary Nussbaum were re-appointed to the Education Relations Committee. Going forward, Nussbaum will be representing St. John Neumann Catholic School, as BOMA approved a charter change allowing for a voting representative from that school. It is the next step in Vice Mayor Louise Povlin’s intent to have representatives from all Farragut’s private schools, in addition to the public schools, serving on the ERC.
The charter change also adds a representative from the Farragut High School Education Foundation and adds two more youth representatives, one to represent each of the remaining high schools in Farragut (Concord Christian and Knoxville Christian schools.)
Other appointees confirmed at the June 10 BOMA meeting include:
• Arts and Beautification Committee (two-year terms): Mayor Ron Williams, Board representative; Marianne McGill; JoNell Kocisko; Brenda Seals; Bettye Newby; Michele Barker; and Annie Judkins;
