The council approved appointments to fill two vacant volunteer positions on city advisory boards. Christine Caldwell will join the Commission on Aging, which advises the city on programs for seniors, and Courtney Cummings will join the Human Rights Commission, which handles discrimination complaints and works to improve community relations. Six members voted to approve the appointments with one abstention, while Councilmember Beckles was absent.
