Mt. Carmel Mayor Joe Judge is reviving and revamping some neglected city boards.
At Monday’s City Council meeting, Judge announced he was restarting the parks advisory board which was first started in 1947, but has fallen by the wayside several years ago. Judge said the five member board will consist of parks commissioner Tom Meeks, Rick Andrews representing the pickleball courts, Doug McPhersonn representing the golf course, and citizen M. C. Deming. Judge said a person for the fifth is being considered and will be announced once the pick is finalized.
Another board Judge is bringing back is an ethics board that he said appointments will be announced soon. He also said vacancies on the airport board and TIF board will be filled soon. The Mayor said other city established boards, such as the library board and zoning board, are in good shape.
