Following the election, Reynolds shared, “I am looking forward to the opportunity to serve on the commission and shape the direction of the commission for the next year.”

Under his direction, Reynolds has set goals to accomplish during his time of service.

“I want to streamline the process of paving our roads, we are kind of behind on a few projects, and I want to develop a few strategies to streamline that process. That is the primary objective I have once I take over,” explained Reynolds.

Looking forward to the upcoming year, Reynolds concluded, “I am happy to commission had the faith  in me and nominated me for the position. I want to thank my fellow commissioners with entrusting me with this prestigious opportunity.”
