Description

Garfield S. Thompson Member - Board of Recreation and Parks

Summary

Mayor Brandon M. Scott has asked the Baltimore City Council to confirm Garfield S. Thompson as a municipal officer on the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board. Under the Baltimore City Charter, the Council reviews and confirms certain mayoral appointments. Thompson, an unaffiliated resident associated with Council District 2, would serve as one of seven mayoral appointees, with a term expiring December 5, 2028. He is executive director of the McKim Community Association, Inc., and attended Hampton University and McDaniel College. The appointment affects the city’s recreation and parks advisory structure and matters because Council confirmation provides public oversight of mayoral appointments to municipal boards.
