A selection grid was used by the Village President and Village Board when considering potential appointment to the committee based on the qualifications and characteristics of those who applied. This grid identifies all who applied, and highlights those who were appointed. Geographic distribution was also achieved by spreading membership among the Village's voting wards.
Communications from the public to task force members should be directed to Village Clerk Julee Helt at jhelt@waunakee.com.
