COEUR d'ALENE - The Kootenai County Board of Commissioners is looking for citizens who are interested in serving on county advisory boards.

Boards that have terms expiring in the next three months are the Airport Advisory Board, Historic Preservation Commission, Natural Resource Advisory Board, Noxious Weed Advisory Board, Planning and Zoning Commission, Snowmobile Advisory Board and the Waterways Advisory Board.

The public may obtain an application by going to the county website at www.kcgov.us or contacting Teri Johnston in the commissioner's office at 446-1601. Applications for these boards are due by Nov. 15.
