Various terms on boards and commissions expired on February 28, 2017, or until their successors are appointed and qualified. The city has advertised for volunteers interested in filling the seats. On February 16, and 23, an interview panel consisting on Commissioners Jay Whiting and Matt Lehman and a representative from the EDAC interviewed six applicants. Two of the applicants that were interviewed were appointed to other boards and commissions.

After the interviews were completed, the panel could not come to a consensus and decided to send it to the EDA for a vote. To expedite the process, please fill out the attached ballot ahead of time and give it to the secretary just before the meeting. Votes are tallied with the first results presented to board members when the matter comes up on the agenda. If additional voting is necessary it would take place at that time.
