So far two have accepted, one has declined, and they are awaiting responses from three others. The City Clerk Sergio Cornelio outlined the committee appointment process per the charter - the Council President gets four appointments (two Councilors and two residents) while the Mayor gets five resident appointments. He said the Council appointments were made last year but the Mayor has had more difficulty filling his slots, which is why the process has extended into the new year. Councilor Martins questioned the timing of when the Council President made his appointments and suggested there should be more diverse representation. The Clerk clarified the Council appointments were made in late November after the election.
