•Peter Brunette, Chair
•Edwin Bones, Vice Chair
•Michael DellaVecchia, Secretary
•Charlie St. Clair
•Sarah Jenna
•Jewel Fox
•Fire Chief Kirk Beattie - Administrative Official (City Manager’s designee)
•Alternates: Jay Forester, Brett Beliveau, Stacy Soucy
•David Bownes, City Council Representative
•Richard MacNeill, Ex-Officio Position (City Manager’s designee)

I'm not the world's brightest guy, but Sarah Jenna and Jewel Fox are women!

Anyway, diversity should be diversity of thought, not of demographics. And that is the problem with the handling of events that we are now experiencing. I want the best person doing the job. I don't care about checking boxes.

Major, my brother, we agree again! It would be one thing if there was some sort of gender/racial bias angle to this issue. But this is just nasty.
