Date:March 11, 2025
Subject:Appointments to City Boards and Commissions
Item No. 12
MEMO
Attached is a listing of the City’s various boards and commissions that have upcoming
vacancies and the names of individuals I propose to be appointed to fill the openings. I
am pleased with the qualifications of the residents who applied for open positions. There
are several positions for which I am still reviewing applications or recruiting qualified
and interested candidates. These positions are marked “TBD” on the list below.
On the accompanying list, those with an asterisk (*) by their names are individuals who
are currently serving on that respective board or commission and are eligible to be
reappointed.
The application review and selection process involved me reviewing each application and
consulting the staff liaisons for respective boards and commissions as needed.
Additionally, some applicants were contacted by staff to review board responsibilities or
were personally interviewed by me. Staff is comfortable with the proposed list of
recommended appointees.
Should you have any questions on one, or several of the applicants, please let me know.
Jeramy Neefus also has all appointee applications on file should you wish to review
them.
