Now here's a head-scratcher - a special meeting for discussion and possible appointments of commissioners to the Plainfield Municipal Utilities Authority.
If I was not in such a fog, I would have called around to see what's up with that. As far as I know, there is only one vacancy, for an alternate. But I'm sure someone will fill in the blanks over the weekend.
As of the annual PMUA reorganization in February, the five commissioners were Charles Tyndale, chairman; Michelle Graham-Lyons, vice-chair; Henry Robinson, secretary; Carol Ann Brokaw, treasurer; and former Chairman Harold Mitchell, a holdover since February 2011. Alternate Charles Eke's term ended on Feb. 1 this year, making him a holdover also, and the other alternate seat is vacant.
Oh, so actually that might mean three possible vacancies, counting the holdovers.
Mayor Adrian O. Mapp and former Mayor Sharon Robinson-Briggs made numerous PMUA nominations in the past, with few council confirmations. Most recently, Mapp was able to get council approval in January to replace holdovers Malcolm Dunn and Cecil Sanders with Robinson and Graham-Lyons.
I am hoping to attend the PMUA's June meeting, which is scheduled for 6 p.m. on June 9 at 127 Roosevelt Avenue. By then, the new executive director, Rodney Hadley, may be on the job. If you are interested, check the PMUA web site to make sure the meeting is still on for that date.
