The Lewiston City Council on Nov. 24 appointed Representative Kyle Harris to a three-year term on the city audit committee and to a three-year term on the Code Board of Appeals.

Mayor Johnson introduced Harris and described his experience and interest in local government. Harris said he lives in Lewiston and works as an electrical contractor. "I am an electrical contractor here in the city of Lewiston," Harris said, adding that he serves on state business and other committees and wants to better understand how city ordinances and local government work.

Council approved both appointments by voice vote; the mayor and councilors welcomed Harris to the boards.

The appointments are intended to bring Harris’s building- and code-related experience to local advisory panels and to deepen coordination between the city and the state legislative perspective.
