Amador County – The Ione City Council last week appointed a new member to the Ione Park & Recreation Commission. Mayor Skip Schaufel selected Susan Priest to replace Commissioner Lance Lively, who asked not to be reappointed. With the vacated seat, the city advertised the vacancy and received notes of interest from Karl Knobelauch and Priest. Priest submitted a letter of interest, and the city also received a verbal notice of interest, from Karl Knobelauch. The newly selected chairman of the Amador County Unified School District Board of Trustees, Knobelauch was found to be ineligible for the seat because he lives outside city limits, said City Clerk Janice Traverso. Priest in her letter of interest to Schaufel and the City Council said: “I think it is very important for communities to have park facilities and recreational activities for residents.” She said she is retired and has worked with Sacramento County “as an accountant for the Parks & Recreation Department.” She was also Chief Financial Officer for the Public Works Department and the General Services Department, so she is “familiar with the activities of those departments and the interaction they have with parks.” City Manager Kim Kerr said the Ione Park & Recreation Commission “is composed of 5 members who the mayor appoints with approval of the city council, to serve terms of 2 years.” Schaufel recommended that Priest be appointed to the commission effective immediately. Priest’s term expires in September 2011. Story by Jim Reece This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
