York City HRC seeks new members; commissioners urge younger and disability representation
Summary
Commissioners discussed upcoming vacancies, confirmed Commissioner Jason Querrey’s intention to remain, and asked members to suggest city residents, younger candidates and people with disabilities for appointment.
Commissioners discussed recruitment for upcoming vacancies on the York City Human Relations Commission and urged members to propose candidates who live in the city, represent younger generations and people with physical disabilities.
Chair and staff said most current commissioners’ terms expire in 2026 or 2027 and that only one commissioner—Jason Querrey—was asked at the meeting whether he wished to remain; Querrey indicated he would. Commissioners said they do not yet have candidates to fill seats and requested names over the next couple of months. Members suggested recruiting high-school-age or young-adult nominees to broaden generational perspectives and asked colleagues to identify people with physical disabilities to ensure that viewpoint is represented.
Ending: Staff asked commissioners to forward candidate names and emphasized a need to increase the number of city residents serving on the commission.
