Members of city council now know what committees and boards they will sit as representatives of the City of Moose Jaw from now until the end of their term in November.
The city clerk’s office forwarded a letter to members of city council on Nov. 18 soliciting their interest in appointments to the municipality’s boards, committees and commissions. Responses were received from council members indicating their preferred appointments.
Council voted 6-1 to approve the appointments during the Dec. 16 regular meeting. Coun. Brian Swanson was opposed.
With the confirmation of the appointments, the city clerk’s office will update each councillor’s website portfolio with a list of their respective board, committee or commission appointments.
The municipal election is scheduled for Nov. 9, 2020.
