Town staff asked the Public Safety Committee on Oct. 21 to recruit volunteers to fill three current vacancies and reminded members of upcoming administrative deadlines and training.
Staff said there are three open seats on the committee and that applications are available on the town website; applications go to the town clerk and then are considered by town council for appointment. "You still have 3 vacancies on this committee. So we encourage the community, if anybody out there is interested in applying for the Public Safety Committee, there's still 3 vacancies," staff said.
Staff also reminded members of a sunshine and public-records training scheduled for the next morning at 10 a.m. at Town Hall; the session will be recorded and streamed for members who cannot attend in person. Members were also told the Public Safety Committee is scheduled to appear at the Nov. 6 Management & Policy (M&P) meeting at 9 a.m. to discuss committee objectives and projects and to seek direction from council.
Staff introduced Riley Baker as the neighborhood services coordinator who will serve as the committee liaison and who can assist with information requests. The town reviewed options for scheduling the committee's regular November meeting given holiday and event conflicts and encouraged members to consider using the M&P forum for broader direction if quorum issues prevent a regular meeting.
No formal appointments were made during the meeting; staff said they will forward received applications to council for consideration and will confirm meeting dates once vacancies and scheduling are resolved.
