During its Aug. 12 meeting the Paris City Council appointed community members to several boards and commissions after re-advertising vacancies.

Council appointed Gloria Day, Linda VanDeever and Sequoia Bruce to fill three openings on the Traffic Commission and appointed Millicent Key as an alternate to the Historic Preservation Commission. The council also appointed Angie Briscoe and Jerry Williams to two alternate positions on the Board of Adjustment. Staff said the city had re-advertised twice and contacted prior applicants to fill the openings.

A council member moved to make the appointments and the motion passed on a voice vote. The appointments take effect immediately and fill vacancies the city had sought to fill through multiple solicitations.

Residents appointed to advisory bodies serve per the terms and conditions in the city's board and commission policies; staff will provide onboarding and term information to each appointee.
