City of Sierra Vista council voted to assume responsibility of 10 local commissions last week. This gives them an opportunity to connect and hear from members of the community.
SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. — Sierra Vista's city council voted to change the current leadership structure for local commissions. Prior to Thursday's vote, city department were responsible for the commission depending on what the focus of the group was.
The council wants to connect with the community and hear their feedback first hand, which is why they voted to take back oversight of the 10 commissions. According to Yarbrough, one of the council's reasons for the conversation about switching was because there has been a lack of community participation in the groups. She said the council wants to hear from the public and this is a way they can do so.
