LAKE STEVENS — City officials are looking for seven volunteers to serve on local boards and commissions.
There are three positions on the city Planning Commission, two on the Library Board, and one each on the Parks and Recreation Board and Civil Service Commission.
All are four-year terms except for the Civil Service seat, which is for six years. For all positions except for Civil Service, four of the members must live or work within the city limits, while three may live or work within the city’s urban growth area.
All are unpaid positions.
The Planning Commission seats expire Dec. 31. The seven-member panel meets for about two hours beginning at 7 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month, with an optional meeting on the third Wednesday. Special meetings are rare, city administrator Dave O’Leary said.
Two seats on the nine-member library board are expiring. It meets as needed, usually every two to three months, city clerk Norma Scott said.
The seven-member parks board meets the fourth Wednesday each month and meetings usually last 60 to 90 minutes, she said. There seldom are special park board meetings.
The city’s three-member Civil Service Commission has some additional requirements. Members must be U.S. citizens, have lived in Lake Stevens at least three years, be a registered voter and must specify their political party. The commission can have no more than two members of the same political party.
Those interested in applying for any of the positions should obtain the one-page application from the clerk’s office. It must be returned by Dec. 31 to Lake Stevens City Clerk’s Office, P.O. Box 257, Lake Stevens, WA 98258.
"We’re trying to do the appointments in January," Scott said.
