Review of Board Terms Underway

Fort Frances town council will take a further look at the length of terms served by community members appointed to various boards and commissions.

Council was asked last night to reduce the current length from four years to two, but town clerk Glenn Treftlin did not think that would have helped fill vacancies during this current term.

"In fact they're traditionally the same committees that had difficulties with two year terms getting the full slate of people to fill the vacancies," said Treftlin.

Some councillors felt a shorter term for volunteer members would help attract more residents to serving.
