Bringing community voices into action to better serve San Rafael.
In October, the City held interviews for the Board of Library Trustees, Fire Commission, Planning Commission, and the Police Advisory and Accountability Committee. We were excited to receive 31 applications for 9 open seats. While some applicants withdrew or did not respond to confirm their interviews, we had a strong group of engaged community members eager to serve.
After thoughtful consideration, the City Council reappointed Alexander Vahdat and appointed Michael Polk to the Board of Library Trustees, reappointed Donna McCusker and Kenneth Johnson to the Fire Commission, reappointed Daniel Alm and Fatai Tokolahi and appointed Kennedy Rodas as the Youth Member to the Police Advisory and Accountability Committee, and reappointed Jill Rodby as the District 1 Representative and appointed Jack Salvemini as the District 4 Representative to the Planning Commission.
These groups play an important role in advising the City Council and ensuring that a variety of local perspectives help shape the decisions that move San Rafael forward. Thank you for your service!
