The members whose terms will expire on March 31st are Louis Ochocki, District 1, Grace Schrunk, District 2, and Keith Garner, District 3. Incumbents Grace Schrunk and Keith Garner, both reside in District 2, expressed an interest in being reappointed for another two-year term. Mr. Ochocki is not seeking reappointment in District 1.

The Council will confirm the appointments at the February 16, 2012 regular Council meeting. The appointees will begin their new term at the April 17, 2012 NRCB meeting.
