The Loveland City Council voted Tuesday to approve a slate of 17 appointments to city boards and commissions as part of its consent agenda. Item 4.1 formally filled vacancies on the Affordable Housing Commission, Human Services Commission, Youth Advisory Commission, Visual Arts Commission, Transportation Advisory Board and Loveland Utilities Commission.
The appointments approved under the City Clerk’s Office item included Vince Deeley to the Affordable Housing Commission; Sara Rhoten and Ali Brand to the Human Services Commission; seven appointments to the Youth Advisory Commission; Jill Atchison to the Visual Arts Commission; three appointments to the Transportation Advisory Board; and three appointments to the Loveland Utilities Commission. The council adopted the full consent agenda on a 7-1 vote, which carried Item 4.1 with it.
The Youth Advisory Commission received the largest group of appointments. Council approved Lily Atrash, Harper Penn, Madison Russell, Dillon Olson, Tianasili Manu, Claire Tobey and Sean Carter for terms beginning June 16, with end dates ranging from 2027 to 2029.
Other appointments approved Tuesday were Samuel Braverman, Scott Tryggestad and David Martinez to the Transportation Advisory Board; Joseph O’Neil, Eugene Packer and Don Cook to the Loveland Utilities Commission; and Jill Atchison to the Visual Arts Commission. Most of those terms run from late June 2026 to June 30, 2029, though Atchison’s term runs through Dec. 31, 2028.
The staff recommendation said approving the item would fill existing vacancies, while denial or no action would leave those seats open. City staff said the city had conducted outreach and public notice for the openings through the Reporter-Herald, social media, the city broadcast channel and staff liaisons to existing boards and commissions.
The commissions and boards advise the city on a wide range of issues, including affordable housing policy, human services grants, youth issues, public art, transportation planning and utility operations.
