IMPACT:
The City received two applications for the open cultural minority community
position on the Springfield Police Advisory Committee. The applications received
were from:
• Brittney de Alicante
• Mark Molina
The Springfield Police Advisory Committee is currently a ten member volunteer
committee appointed by Council consisting of four neighborhood/citizen-at-large
representatives, one School District 19 representative, one Willamalane Park and
Recreation District representative, two representatives of the local business
community, one cultural minority community representative, and one faith
community representative. Council has communicated an anticipated reduction to a
nine-member committee with the removal of the second local business community
position. Committee membership is a four-year term.
The cultural minority community position is open due to the prior representative’s
resignation.
The Council decision on the cultural minority community position appointment will
be scheduled for a future regular meeting in conjunction with the boards,
committees, and commission batch recruitment process.
