Committee members are appointed for the same term as Council members. Following the October 2018 election, some Committee members declined to be reappointed, and Committee chairs indicated whether they wanted new members. Per Council policy POL-0019-ADMIN, Advertising for Citizen Vacancies, staff placed advertisements in the Goldstream Gazette for two consecutive weeks, seeking applications for membership. The Chair for Transportation and Public Works Committee has selected two new committee members from the applications received; and the Chair for Planning, Zoning and Affordable Housing Committee has selected one new committee member from the applications received. ### Commentary Staff have contacted the selected committee members to confirm that they are able to commit to the meeting schedule, and will accept an appointment if it is made. ### Financial Implications None.
