Richard Alton represents District 2 (Cottonwood). Richard is not new to city of Surprise committees and commissions. Since arriving in Surprise in 2003, he has served as a member of the Surprise Revitalization Committee, served on the ad hoc committee to analyze and recommend an auto mileage reimbursement method (Alton voted for the IRS standards) and most recently, he served as a Commissioner on the Surprise Planning and Zoning Commission.
