Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

The Council appoints citizen volunteers to serve on Town boards and commissions. Appointees remain in their roles until they are either reappointed or replaced. Information about the responsibilities of each board and commission is published in the Fairview Town News magazine and on the Town's website, encouraging residents to apply for these positions. Interested applicants are required to complete an application, specifying the boards or commissions they wish to serve on and providing background information relevant to their application. The Council generally aims to rotate members off committees after six (6) years of service, except in cases where extending their term aligns with a specific business need. This policy has been applied selectively across various boards, based on specific circumstances.
