Council appoints Christina Ocampo and Keith Coram to Willows Planning Commission
Summary
Willows City Council appointed two residents — Christina Ocampo and Keith Coram — to fill two vacancies on the Planning Commission, assigning staggered terms to balance experience and community representation; the motion passed 5‑0.
The Willows City Council on April 8 appointed Christina Ocampo and Keith Coram to two vacancies on the city’s Planning Commission.
An ad hoc recruitment and interview process produced two applicants for two open positions. Council members said the recommended appointments provide a mix of experience: Coram brings long experience on local planning bodies and elected office, while Ocampo is a local business owner with interest in serving and learning the commission’s work. The council assigned the shorter, expiring term to the less experienced appointee and the longer term to Coram so the commission retains continuity.
The council’s motion to appoint both candidates carried 5‑0. No formal objections or public opposition were recorded during the meeting; several council members praised the applicants’ commitment to community service. The appointments are effective immediately for the terms described by staff during the meeting.
Councilmembers noted a low number of applicants generally for commissions and encouraged broader public engagement in future recruitment.
The motion passed 5‑0; the audio record did not identify a single mover or seconder by name for the final roll call recorded in the meeting minutes.
