Former Alder Prez OK’d For City Plan

Former Board of Alders President Carl Goldfield is now officially back at City Hall — as a volunteer land-use commissioner newly approved by the Board of Alders.

City legislators unanimously signed off on Goldfield’s appointment to the City Plan Commission Wednesday night during the latest bimonthly meeting of the Board of Alders. The virtual meeting took place online via Zoom.

Back in April, Mayor Justin Elicker tapped Goldfield—a 19-year former Beaver Hills alder who spent six years as alders president—to serve as an alternate member on the local land use commission.
