City recruiting for two boards

The city of Mill Creek is seeking members for the Arts/Beautification Advisory Board and the Board of Appeals and Adjustments, according to the city’s website.

The arts board deals with design issues, special events and other arts-related matters as they come up. The board meets at 4 p.m. the third Wednesday of every month at city hall. Members should be residents or own and/or operate a business in Mill Creek.

The Board of Appeals and Adjustments is a quasi-judicial body comprised of five members, who are appointed for three-year terms. Four members shall be qualified by experience and training to pass upon matters pertaining to building construction and other pertinent matters. Any Mill Creek resident may be appointed to the fifth position.

This board hears appeals related to the interpretation by the city building official of fire and building codes, as well as other areas related to zoning laws and appeals. Meetings are held as needed.
