Why This Vote Matters

Che Soto-Vigil was reappointed to serve another term on the Economic Development Commission, which advises the city council on business-related policies. The council approved this volunteer position with broad support, with Vice Mayor Bates abstaining from the vote. This routine reappointment allows Soto-Vigil to continue helping review and make recommendations on issues affecting local businesses and economic growth. The Economic Development Commission is one of several volunteer advisory boards that help inform city council decisions.
