Woodland Park's City Council is set to fill three key positions on the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) as terms expire on June 30. During the recent council meeting, Mayor Kaye highlighted the urgency of these appointments, noting that two current members, Arden Weatherford and Alborn, have not reapplied for their positions. Additionally, a vacancy remains from Tony Perry's resignation earlier this year.
The DDA plays a crucial role in shaping the downtown area, and the council has adhered to its hiring practices by posting the positions publicly. So far, two applications have been received from Sarah Salazar and John Hughes, both of whom meet the special requirements necessary for DDA membership.
The council will review these applications and make decisions that could significantly impact the future development of Woodland Park's downtown area. Filling these positions is essential for ensuring continued progress and revitalization efforts in the community. As the council moves forward, the implications of these appointments will be closely watched by residents and stakeholders alike.
