The Woodstock City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved expansion of the city’s Cultural Diversity Commission to nine members from seven with the two added seats assigned to local high school age individuals. Each high school age member will serve a one-year term.
No students have yet been named to the commission, said Mary Lynn Lisk, secretary to Mayor Alan Cornue. “It will probably take about a month to find and screen applicants,” she said. The mayor will then make the two appointments with the advice and consent of the City Council.
The commission recommended the inclusion of high school age members last August in order to “reach out to a portion of the population which at this time we do not hear from,” said Commission Chairwoman Deborah Skozek.
