FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — On July 1 the Fayetteville City Council approved a slate of appointments recommended by the council’s nominating committee, reappointing and appointing members to several boards and commissions.

Councilmember Stafford, chair of the nominating committee, reported unanimous committee decisions and presented the recommendations. Among the nominations read into the record were Kyla Mays (reappointment) and Jennifer Cole (reappointment) to the Animal Services board; Christine Myers and Karen Warx (recommended by the mayor) to the Historic District Commission; Dale Hall for the Parks, Natural Resources and Cultural Affairs Advisory Board; Justin Tennant and Claire Colbert for reappointment to Walton Arts Council-related citizen-at-large slots; and a change on the Urban Forestry Advisory Board moving Joseph Fox from a resident-at-large position to a tree-service representative seat.

Council moved and voted to approve the committee’s slate by roll call.

Why it matters: Board and commission appointments shape advisory input on city programs including animal services, historic preservation, parks and urban forestry.

What’s next: Appointed members’ terms and duties will proceed per board bylaws, and staff will update records.
