Verify Memorial City board service authority

Context: City Council unanimously confirmed Alex Massa, Ann Thomas Givens, and Ben Pisklak to terms expiring July 20, 2026 on March 25, 2026.

Recommended: Obtain the adopted appointment instrument and the Reinvestment Zone Number Seventeen governing and qualification records, then determine when the newly confirmed directors may serve and how the three terms expiring July 20, 2026 must be handled. Doing this before board action can identify any roster or term-status question while the confirmation record is fresh.

As of Mar 2026

Clarify Memorial City board appointment discrepancy

Context: The March 18 record lists “ANNE THOMAS GIVENS,” while the unanimously adopted March 25 record lists “ANN THOMAS GIVENS”; Council Member Huffman tagged the item at its first appearance.

Recommended: Request the March 18 and March 25 agenda backup, mayoral nomination forms, and any correction memo to determine whether “Anne Thomas Givens” and “Ann Thomas Givens” are the same appointee and why the item was tagged before its unanimous adoption. Without those records, the public cannot resolve an identity discrepancy in the confirmed board roster or explain the matter’s two Council appearances.
