City council has appointed three more residents to sit on municipal advisory boards and committees in a continued effort to fill existing vacancies.
During the March 8 regular meeting, council unanimously approved Darrell Hawman’s appointment to the cultural diversity advisory committee to represent the New Southern Plains Metis Local No. 160. Hawman’s term starts immediately and concludes on Dec. 31, 2022, or until a successor is appointed.
Council also unanimously appointed Fred Anderson and David Danchilla to the development appeals board for a term to start immediately and conclude on Dec. 31, 2023, or until a successor is appointed.
With vacancies existing on several municipal boards and committees, the city clerk’s office advertised for nominations in January, with the deadline for applications on Feb. 5, a council report explained. No applications were received by the deadline, but the city clerk’s office did receive submissions afterward, so it presented the applications for council to consider.
During the March 8 meeting, Coun. Heather Eby encouraged residents to consider joining the murals advisory committee since many vacancies are open in that group. There are only two members on the committee, along with community artist Grant McLaughlin.
The next regular council meeting is Monday, March 22.
