Town council makes commission appointments, still seeking applicants for some seats
Correction: An earlier version of this article stated that the town council reopened the application period for the interim parks and rec commission seat because the candidates who applied could not be considered for the seat since they cannot serve on two commissions. While this is true, the council also decided to reopen the period because Councilmember Deborah Fudge had not received an interim parks and rec application from an applicant and the town counsel team and city manager had suggested reopening the application period to give folks the chance to apply if they encountered that issue and because the town council could not come to a consensus on the other remaining applicant, Angelica Nunez, for the interim parks and rec role.
