What this means

The committee approved a package of mayoral appointments and reappointments to many city advisory bodies and boards. That means the named individuals are confirmed to serve the listed terms on groups that advise the city or oversee services (for example, water recovery, health authority, housing, cultural and disability commissions). Residents should expect those bodies to continue their advisory or oversight roles with the newly confirmed members in place.
