Mayor reappoints committees

Moorcroft Mayor Dick Claar reappointed the same council members for the standing committees as sat on them last year, adding new councilman Austin Smith to the vacated seats at the meeting of the council last week.

These committees include finance and personnel, to which Councilmen Paul Smoot and Dale Petersen are appointed; streets, alleys and buildings: Councilmen Ben Glenn and Smith; water and wastewater: Petersen and Glenn; sanitation and landfill: Smith and Smoot; and police and emergency services: Smith and Glenn.

There remains a question about the chair and member positions on the planning committee; the mayor is currently asking qualified community members if they would be willing to volunteer their time and experience to this conclave.
