Coun. Jamey Logan has been appointed to the Board of Police Commissioners to help fill a void created with the resignation of former mayor Fraser Tolmie.
Logan’s time on the board will commence immediately and will remain until a successor is appointed.
City council unanimously approved Logan’s appointment to the Board of Police Commissioners during the Aug. 23 regular council meeting. A new member was needed because Tolmie — who was board chairman — resigned to run for the Conservative Party in the 2021 federal election.
Coun. Dawn Luhning was appointed as acting mayor until the Nov. 3 mayoral byelection. Since she was already a commissioner on the board, another councillor was needed to fill her spot.
The board consists of five voting members, including the mayor and two councillors — Coun. Doug Blanc is the other councillor — and two citizens, who include Mary Lee Booth and Darrell Markin.
This appointment was made on an interim basis because, in December, all council members will have the chance to pick which advisory, association or third-party boards, committees and commissions they wish to serve on in 2022. This includes the Board of Police Commissioners.
The next regular city council meeting is Monday, Sept. 13.
