Faith Fox appointed to Urban Renewal Board and planning commission
Summary
Faith Fox, a seven-year Wood Village resident, was appointed to both the Urban Renewal Board (term to Dec. 31, 2028) and the Planning Commission (four-year term). Councilors asked prepared interview questions; Fox described her interest in healthy cities and consensus-based decision-making.
Faith Fox joined the Dec. 10 Wood Village council meeting remotely and was appointed first to the Urban Renewal Board and then to the Planning Commission.
In an opening statement she said, "My name is Faith Fox. I have lived in Wood Village in the Tree Hill development for about 7 years," and described her interest in urban renewal and in making decisions that support healthy, inclusive communities. Councilors asked a standard set of interview questions about leadership, group decision-making and priorities; Fox said she prefers to "lead through example" and highlighted her professional experience as an attorney while stressing commitments to clear communication.
Councilor [name withheld in transcript] moved to appoint Fox to the Urban Renewal Board with a term expiring 12/31/2028; the motion was seconded and adopted by voice vote. The council then moved and approved a separate motion to appoint Fox to the Planning Commission for a four-year term. Staff said orientations will be scheduled and that the appointments are effective following the council's vote.
Fox told council she could meet the meeting-frequency expectations for the Urban Renewal Board (staff estimated fewer than five meetings a year) and expressed willingness to participate in planning-commission orientation if needed. The council noted staff would follow up on orientation details and potential scheduling for each body.
