City boards have multiple openings

The city of Mill Creek is seeking volunteers to fill vacancies on the Design Review Board and Parks and Recreation Advisory Board.

Two full terms are vacant and a mid-term vacancy are available on the Design Review Board. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board has two openings.

Both boards meet once a month at city hall. The parks board is an advisory board to the City Council, and all members must be residents of the city. The Design Review Board reviews all applications requiring building permits to ensure visual quality throughout the city. Design Review Board members do not need to be Mill Creek residents.

If interested in volunteering, send a letter of interest to Sherrie Ringstad, city of Mill Creek, 15728 Main St., Mill Creek, WA, 98012 or deliver to city hall no later than 5 p.m. Aug. 29.

Child safety seat installations

Snohomish County Fire District 7 offers child safety seat installation. Installation times are by appointment because not all fire stations have a certified child safety seat technician on every shift.

Call 425-486-1217 for more information or to schedule a seat installation.
