Weho City Council Names Commission Appointees

The City Council named their direct appointees to each of the city’s nine commissions earlier this week.

Councilman John Heilman chose to wait on naming most of his appointees, only officially reappointing two people. Heilman’s previous appointees will continue on a month-by-month basis until he either reappoints them or names someone else.

Newly elected Councilman John D’Amico had already named six of his appointees. All of his appointees are included on the list below. 

The council held off on voting for the at-large members of each commission, saying they wanted to see how the direct appointments shaped up first. The previous at-large members will continue until the council votes.

Each commissioner serves for a two-year term beginning on June 1. 

Below is a list of each councilmembers’ direct appointees. People new to the commissions are designated with a star beside their name.
