Jordan Burns, Alexandria Carns, Joyce De La Torre and Jason Smith will serve three-year terms on the commission while Isaura Cirillo and Tahja Grier will serve two-year terms. Assistant Town Manager Shannon Haynes wrote in her memo to council that the town received 41 applications for the commission and that the six individuals were selected to be recommended to council following interviews. Council approved the recommendations.
