New members join parks committee

Two more new members are stepping up to volunteer their services on the Holmes Beach Parks and Beautification Committee. During an April 27 meeting, city commissioners voted to accept the applications of both Katheryn Sandberg and Christian Ulanch. Both Sandberg and Ulanch will serve in alternate positions on the committee, which are nonvoting positions unless a full member of the committee is absent during a meeting. A planned swearingin ceremony for the two is scheduled to take place during the May 5 parks meeting, the last before the group breaks for summer with meetings resuming in the fall.
