Wilhoite’s term as a Commissioner
began in August 2006.
Commissioners are appointed by
the mayor, but must be confirmed by
the City Council. Potter did not run for
re-election and will finish up his only
term in office at the end of 2008. He
still has the authority to nominate new
board members, but because he will
not be involved, he is allowing Mayor-
elect Sam Adams to make the selec-
tions. Adams is a city commissioner.
Adams is currently taking applica-
tions from persons interested in serv-
ing on the PDC. Until he selects new
commissioners, the board will conduct
business with only three commission-
ers. The third person on the PDC board
is Bertha Ferran. She has served since
Feb. 1, 2005.
