The positions listed bellow are appointed, and so you would not need to put on a costly, and time consuming campaign. The commitment would be comparatively small, considering the rewards for lady liberty. The Planning Commission is a group of nine citizens who meet to make land use decisions in a public forum. Three members are taken from the city council, and the remaining six are volunteers from the community who are appointed by the Mayor.
Commissioners serve either a two or a four year term.
The planning Commission must determine the benefit or impact for the entire community of each land use proposal brought before it. The City's Comprehensive Plan goals, the Business development Plan, and the property owner's underlying property fights are also considered. Planning Commission meetings are typically held on the fourth Monday and Tuesday of each month. They are also televised on Channel 16, and a videotape of each meeting is available at the library. There will be three planning Commission appointments made in June 2001.
