Mayor Devries says she intends to begin making appointments to the committee at the May 21st meeting. She has said previously that her intent is to have the seven seats represent each assembly district, if possible.
According to Mayor Devries, the deadline to apply for the committee in time for the May 21st meeting is this Friday.
