SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Two vacancies (each with a term expiring September 2022) exist on the City Economic Diversification Commission due to resignation.
These include the seat vacated by former Commissioner Noble, as well as the seat of Commissioner Adams who has agreed to serve on the commission until she transfers out of Valdez or her replacement is appointed, whichever occurs first.
The City Clerk’s Office advertised the two vacancies and received one application:
• Chris Watson
If Council appoints this applicant, they will fill Commissioner Noble’s seat for the remainder of the term (approximately six months), after which time the appointee can reapply for a full term on the commission, if so desired.
The Clerk’s Office will continue to advertise the remaining vacancy/vacancies.
