(KNZA)--The Hiawatha City Commission Tuesday evening approved the appointment of a slate of seven candidates to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board.

Appointed to four-year terms on the board were Jill Sprick, Chris Diller, Jeff Moore and Marla Olson.

Appointed to three-year terms on the board were Brooklyn Schuetz, Ryan Olson and Alex Wang.

They were among nine candidates who had expressed an interest in serving on the board.

The Commission adopted an ordinance last November establishing the advisory board.

The board will make recommendations to the city commission via the Parks and Recreation Director regarding the goals, policies, capital projects and initiatives of the Parks and Recreation Department.
