Background/History:

There are two (2) vacancies on the Parks and Recreation Commission. One vacancy addresses the term expiration of Gregory Kleiner who has served one and a half full terms and is eligible for reappointment. The other vacancy addresses the term expiration of John Fall who has completed his first term as Commissioner and is eligible for reappointment.  Both Commissioners are seeking reappointment. There is one (1) additional applicant for these vacancies: Justin Talley.

Members of this commission serve three (3) year terms.

Key Considerations:

It is important to fill these vacancies as soon as possible since this commission meets each month.

Expanded Financial Considerations:

The Parks and Recreation Commission is an independent authority established by state law that supports and advises the City Council on subjects related to Parks and Recreation and subsequently provides an invaluable service to the community and stakeholders alike.

Community Benefits and Considerations:

Vacancies are typically advertised in the media and/or at recreational facilities, by word of mouth on the part of the other Commissioners and staff, and posted on the City’s website.
