membership be reduced from seven members to five.
Due to the regular term expirations of Members Floyd Jaramillo and Steve Lucero there are two
appointments that need to be made. Both Mr. Jaramillo and Mr. Lucero have indicated that they
wish to be considered for reappointment to this Board. Currently, the two other terms are vacant;
however, both will be eliminated if this Resolution is approved.
Following advertisements published in the Pueblo Chieftain an announcement on the City Clerk’s
webpage seeking volunteers to serve on this committee, no new applications were received.
