community
needs.

proposed
appointees
meet
the
qualifications
outlined

the
municipal

and
bring
valuable
experience
and
perspectives
to
the
commission's
work.
Filling these positions will enable the commission to continue its important work promoting accessibility
and
advocating
for
the
needs
of
residents
with
disabilities
throughout
our
community.
We greatly appreciate any support you can provide in expediting this process and welcome the Council's
