Brian has enjoyed representing the residents of Ward 2 since 2013. He was interested in getting more involved in the city and started with the sundry claims board. This board reviews claims for damages that residents feel the city is responsible for (snow-plow vs. mailbox, vehicle damage from potholes or roads, etc.). When Roy Stewart decided to retire from city council, Brian thought it might be a good way to continue his service to the city. Since being elected to city council, he has held several roles, including:
Chairperson of:
Charter Review Committee
Building Codes/Public Buildings/Growth Planning and Zoning Committee
Energy Committee
Safety/Service
Finance Committee
In addition, also a Member of:
Recreation Committee
Community Improvement Management
Council representative for:
Board of Zoning Appeals
Planning Commission
Human Services Board
