This is just an early heads up—along with the agendas for next month's meeting (Jan. 10) I will be sending each Mayor a letter requesting an official letter of appointment {or re-appointment) for the city's designated representative (elected councilperson and alternate) to the Commission. If possible, it would be great to have these for the Commission's files on or before the meeting date, since the Commission is scheduled to hold elections for officers in January. Thanks everyone!
