Members of the Jordan City Council accepted their committee assignments on Tuesday, Jan. 2, when two new councilmembers attended their first meeting.

Both of the new members complement "our team," Mayor Ron Jabs said.

He recommended a list of council representatives and proposed committee assignments, and the council made only two changes to it. Jabs said he based the proposal on what he knew of councilmembers' preferences, expertise, experience, and council-related workloads.

David Hanson, a new councilmember, represents the council at meetings of the following committees:

- senior citizen community center;
