Training For New Appointees

Members of three city boards in Three Rivers will be expected to take training shortly after their appointment, Mayor Tom Lowry and city commissioners decided Tuesday.

The training will be required of new members who join the city’s Historic Preservation Commission, the Planning Commission and the Board of Appeals.

Lowry indicated recommendations made by the three panels are important and their members should be educated on how to handle matters presented to them and relevant to the panel on which they serve.

While training was recommended to take place within three months after a member’s appointment and as finances allow, commissioners said the education could be delivered from trainers brought to the city.
