Mayor Lewis announced three mayoral appointments for council confirmation: Julia Parker to the Board of Adjustment (term through Dec. 31, 2029), Kendra Chilbert to the Farmers Market Commission (term through Dec. 31, 2027) — noted as filling the seat designated for the Moscow Chamber of Commerce executive director — and Matt Smith to the Planning & Zoning Commission (term through Dec. 31, 2030).
