Torrance fills two commission seats: Andrea Riley to Environmental Quality; Iona Bissenix appointed to Commission on Aging

The Torrance City Council appointed Andrea Riley to the Environmental Quality and Energy Conservation Commission by unanimous concurrence and appointed Iona Bissenix to the Commission on Aging after a roll call vote.

City Clerk Rebecca Poyer called applicants to stand and opened the floor for nominations. Andrea Riley received a single nomination for the Environmental Quality and Energy Conservation Commission and was approved by unanimous concurrence. For the Commission on Aging, there were three nominees (Iona Bissenix, Christopher Truman and Marilyn Schaffer). A roll call vote produced five votes for Iona Bissenix and two for Christopher Truman; the clerk announced Bissenix as the appointee.

New appointees were administered the oath of office during the meeting and were directed to complete their commission packets with the city clerk.

Ending: Council thanked all applicants and encouraged those not appointed to reapply in future cycles.
