At the May 26 meeting the Fairmont City Council approved a slate of reappointments and appointments to local boards and commissions. Reappointments to the Arts and Humanities Commission included Treasure Wyckoff, Christian Cox, and Chayla Oliveto (three-year terms to expire June 30, 2029); appointments to the Board of Zoning Appeals included Laura Candell and Dan Sweiger; and Chris Yost was appointed to the Planning Commission to fill an unexpired three-year term ending Sept. 17, 2026.
