Sarah Masters presented updated advisory-board applicant lists and reported a handful of new and reapplying candidates for boards including airport, fair, historic preservation, natural resources, aquifer protection, parks and waterways, snowmobile and planning and zoning.

Commissioners discussed statutory residency limits for city versus county representation on some boards and agreed to interview planning and zoning applicants together when possible. For the airport advisory board the commission said it will await Hayden’s decision about its representative before making the related appointment. Commissioners also agreed to reappoint eligible incumbents on boards where there were no competing applicants and to interview a new natural-resources applicant (Todd Hoffman) prior to appointment.

No formal votes were recorded on Dec. 2; staff will schedule interviews and return appointment items to the board for formal action.
