At its Jan. 13 meeting, the Roseville Grants Advisory Commission filled a vacancy and voted to appoint Commissioner Lauren Rosano as vice chair for the 2026–27 grant cycle.

Staff explained that a commissioner had been elected to another city body, creating an unexpected vacancy. Commissioners nominated both Lauren Rosano and Commissioner Murray; after the nominees expressed willingness to serve, Commissioner Meeks Harris moved to nominate Lauren Rosano and the motion was seconded by Commissioner Malisara. The commission conducted a roll‑call vote and recorded unanimous support; the chair announced the motion passed and congratulated Rosano.

The commission noted the vice chair will serve through the next selection cycle and will assume duties alongside the chair during the grant review and funding recommendation process. The commission also confirmed that the youth commissioner retains voting privileges on the body.

Outcome: Motion to appoint Commissioner Lauren Rosano as vice chair — passed by roll‑call vote.
