During a special virtual meeting Tuesday, Commissioners interviewed a total of three candidates.
County documents had previously stated that there would be five interviews, but two candidates had withdrawn their applications, leaving the decision between applicants Thom Miller, Monteze Morales and Tammy Taylor.
A candidate would need six votes to pass, and Morales made out with a total of seven after being nominated.
Morales, a Democrat, says she has been a resident of Kalamazoo County for almost 40 years. She currently works for Kalamazoo Valley Community College as a program manager for Kalamazoo Promise services.
She also works for the Public Housing Commission as Vice Chair. She cited her experience with this and other boards, such as OutFront Kalamazoo, as qualifiers for the position.
Marshall Kilgore, Western Michigan University alumnus and Director of advocacy at Outfront Kalamazoo, officially announced he’s running for Kalamazoo City Commission on June 2 at Heritage Hall.

KALAMAZOO COUNTY, MI (WKZO AM/FM) Kalamazoo County Commissioners have begun discussions on whether or not to execute a purchase agreement for Bronson Park to the City of Kalamazoo, but the conversation has been tabled until another time.
Although the County technically owns the park, the City is responsible for maintenance and other services.
During a virtual meeting Tuesday night, Commissioners discussed the matter at length, weighing the pros and cons of doing so.
According to County documents, the City of Kalamazoo is interested in obtaining formal ownership of Bronson Park to “assist with additional development opportunities to improve the property and continuity for current grant agreements.”
