Palo Alto City Council added new faces to the Human Relations Commission tonight while favoring existing members for the Parks and Recreation Commission.

Amanda Brown, Shani Kleinhaus and Joy Oche were re-appointed to four-year terms on the Parks and Recreation Commission. Brown had unanimous support.

Newcomer Bing Wei was picked in a second round of voting.

Nanci Howe, Yudy Deng, Laura Granka, Adriana Flores-Ragade, Sierra Peterson and incumbent Jeff LaMere didn’t make the cut after interviews last week.

Katie Causey, Daryl Savage, Mary Kate Stimmler and Amy Hsieh were picked for the Human Relations Commission. Miles Goodman wasn’t selected.

Savage was the only incumbent. A lot of pro-housing people sent emails to council in support of Causey and Goodman because they are young renters who grew up in Palo Alto.
