Held Atlanta plan would let planning advisory board choose its Invest Atlanta representative

A held Atlanta resolution would let the Atlanta Planning Advisory Board directly appoint its representative to the Invest Atlanta board. The supporting text describes the existing process as mayoral selection from three nominees submitted by APAB.

Resolution 26-R-3748 says the change is intended to give APAB, which represents neighborhood planning units, more direct representation and protect its representative's independence. The appointment would follow the same terms and conditions as other self-appointing entities.

City Council returned the measure as held Sept. 21. This is a proposed change to selection authority, not confirmation of an appointee or an enacted appointment rule.
