TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Adrienne N. Breitfelder, City Clerk
DATE: December 22, 2021
SUBJECT: Mayor and City Council Appointments to Various Boards and
Commissions
At the first regular session City Council meeting of each year, the City Council is
requested to review their appointments to various boards and commissions for any
changes in members for the 2022 calendar year terms. The enclosed documents show
current City Council board and commission appointments sorted by commission name
and City Council Member name. The "Pending" name listed within these documents
represents the appointments previously held by Mayor -Elect Cavanagh when he was the
Ward 4 City Council Member.
Once all board and commission appointments are confirmed at the January 3, 2022, City
Council meeting, the City Clerk's Office will notify all board and commission administrative
staff of the members of each commission. All appointments that remain under the
"Pending" nae after the January 3, 2022, meeting will be assigned to the individual elected
to the Ward 4 City Council Member vacancy.
Thank you.
