Following recent restructuring of the Fayette County Public Arts Committee, the Board of Commissioners has appointed new members for staggered terms.

Charlie Cave, Robert Johnson, Samuel Patton, Heather Cap and Donna Rosser will serve one-year terms until May 2017.

Jeffrey Mellin, Roshier Sbaja, Tina Brown, Donna Thompson, Vicki Turner and Richard Brown were named to two-year terms that expire in May 2018.

Commissioner Steve Brown abstained from the 4-0-1 vote, saying that he understands but does not appreciate a new provision barring elected officials from serving on the committee. Brown initiated the arts committee in 2014.
