• Hillary Van Dyke is being appointed by Commissioner Flowers to fill a vacancy created when her previous individual appointee Michael Fridovich had to resign for personal matters. Because she is filling a current term, it will expire on December 31, 2027, at which time Ms. Van Dyke would be eligible for reappointment.
• Ms. Van Dyke is currently serving as an Alternate on the HPB. Once she is appointed as Commissioner Flowers’ individual appointment, we will advertise the resulting Alternate vacancy.

• No ballot necessary; voice vote will suffice.
