Council reappoints three members to Cultural Arts and Recreation Commission

Staff recommended and the Fillmore City Council approved reappointments to the Cultural Arts and Recreation Commission (CAR).

Riley (staff) told the council the mayor recommended reappointing Brandy Hollis, Grego Gosnelli and Carina Foresight; the applications were reviewed by an ad hoc interview committee (the mayor and Council Member Brogi) and the committee interviewed five candidates. The appointments are four‑year terms that will expire Jan. 31, 2029. Riley noted no fiscal impact from the appointments and that the commission meets quarterly on the fourth Wednesday.

Brandy Hollis and Carina Foresight spoke briefly after the staff recommendation. Hollis said she looks forward to “bringing back the music” and organizing an art walk; Foresight said she is “happy to serve again” and has ideas to bring to council. Council members praised the number of applicants and welcomed the reappointments.

A motion to appoint the three candidates carried with no recorded opposition.

Staff will schedule the CAR Commission’s next meeting and proceed under the reappointed commissioners’ terms.
