Committee appointments.
Background:
The Sparks Senior Citizen's Advisory Committee was established on July 9, 2018 by way of Resolution No. 3335. The committee was formed so that essential senior citizen input would assist in informing the Council of issues related to the senior population and quality of life for seniors.
Analysis:
The Mayor and Council will make appointments to the SSCAC. Members shall be residents of the City of Sparks, preferably over the age of 55, who have a desire to learn more about interactions between the city's senior population and city government, and a willingness to share their collective knowledge with others.
A total of 8 members will make up the SSCAC. Membership to the SSCAC is appointed in the following manner:
* Two members from the Mayor, and one alternate:
Members: Andrea Pelto, Kyle Waxman. Alternate: Rosemary Padgett.
* One member from Ward 1, and an alternate:
Member: LaMerne Kozlowski, Alternate: not filled at this time per Council Member Abbott.
* One member from Ward 2, and an alternate;
Member: Raynell Holtz, Alternate: John Sebastian.
* One member from Ward 3, and an alternate;
Member: Martin Roberto, Alternate: Wayne Alexander.
* One member from Ward 4, and an alternate;
Member: Margie Hermanson, Alternate: David Hall, Sr.
* One member from Ward 5, and an alternate;
Member: Marcy Kupfersmith, Alternate: Avery Huckabee.
* One City Council member to participate ex officio for purposes of being the liason with the other elected officials of the city. (Council Member Donald Abbott was selected at the Janaury 14, 2019 City Council Meeting.)
While it is general practice that the Sparks City Council members make appointments from their respective Wards, there may be circumstances which prevent that practice.
Members shall serve a term that is coterminus with their appointing elected official, subject to reappointment every two years.
