BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – APPOINTMENT TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY RETIREMENT COMMISSION Consideration of appointment to the Oakland County Retirement Commission was postponed from the August 20, 2007, General Government Committee meeting because Commissioner Gingell had asked Mr. Doyle to contact Mr. Gonzales to see if he would be willing to step down from his appointment on the Road Commission Retirement Board because he had a concern about him sitting on both boards. Mr. Doyle indicated that he did speak with Mr. Gonzales, and Mr. Gonzales indicated that he was not interested in giving up his appointment on the Road Commission Retirement Board. Mr. Doyle further indicated that there was nothing that would prohibit Mr. Gonzales from being appointed to both the Oakland County Retirement Commission and the Road Commission Retirement Board. Commissioner Gingell thanked Mr. Doyle for getting that information for the committee. Gingell moved to report to the full Board with the recommendation that Mr. D’Arcy Gonzales be appointed to the Oakland County Retirement Commission. Supported by Jacobsen. Motion carried on a roll call vote with Hatchett and Crawford voting no. COMMUNICATIONS None.
