Members needed for new city planning board
Whitefish Pilot | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 11 years, 2 months AGO
Whitefish is looking for members to serve on its newly established Whitefish Planning Board.
The city board was created this month to replace the city-county planning board. The joint board was dissolved after a Montana Supreme Court decision gave Flathead County jurisdiction over Whitefish’s planning doughnut.
Whitefish City Council unanimously approved an emergency ordinance Aug. 18 to create an interim planning board that will meet this month. The interim board will be replaced with the offical Whitefish Planning Board after members are appointed.
The city is seeking five residents interested in serving on the board. Applicants must reside within city limits. Members will serve one- and two-year terms, expiring on Dec. 31, 2015 or Dec. 31, 2016.
Interviews with the mayor and city council will be scheduled for Oct. 6.
To apply, submit a letter of interest to the City Clerk’s Office by Friday, Sept. 26, by mail to PO Box 158, Whitefish, MT 59937, or drop off at the office as 418 E. 2nd St.; or email [email protected].
