GAEDA Executive Director Angie Varnado has asked the City Council to consider reappointing two members whose terms are expiring.

Her request Tuesday is included in the preliminary agenda for the Council’s July 1 meeting.

Ronald Morgan’s term expires June 30; chairman Dr. Curtis Lewis’ on July 14, according to Varnado’s letter of request.

Under GAEDA bylaws, commissioners serve four-year terms. Each of the seven City Council members nominates a GAEDA member and appointment is ordinarily rubber stamped by the council.

Morgan was nominated by District 2’s Gary Johnson; Lewis by Cynthia Perry, District 3.

There has been no indication of discontent among the parties.

The preliminary agenda does not include any proposed action regarding the three vacant GAEDA posts.

For all anyone knows those could still be unfilled when the city takes delivery of a 30-passenger trolley it is purchasing for ferrying visitors about. 

Final action on the $338,000 purchase is on the July 1 agenda. Estimated delivery time is 18 months.
