The City of Sweet Home seeks to fill vacancies on its Planning Commission and Park and Tree Committee.
The seven-member Planning Commission provides citizen review and recommendations on planning-related matters to the city council. Its members advise council members and city staff on Sweet Home’s long-range goals, policies and programs on issues related to land use, transportation and current planning.
Potential members must be city residents. No more than two can be non-city members (residing within School District No. 55 boundaries); engage in the buying, selling or developing of real estate for profit as individuals; or be members of any partnership, or officers or employees of any corporation that engages principally in the buying, selling or developing of real estate for profit. No more than two of the council-appointed members can be engaged in the same kind of business, trade or profession.
Among its many tasks, the Park and Tree Committee assists city council members by conducting an inventory of existing street trees, including historical trees and public properties in need of beautification and plantings, and presents a written report to the council of its findings.
The committee is expected to meet a minimum of four times a year, beginning in December. That meeting is intended to be devoted to the development of capital and recreation programs.
Citizens interested in serving on either panel can apply by sending a completed application, available from the city or online at https://bit.ly/400YjFe, to Administrative Services Manager Julie Fisher at [email protected].
Interviews will be conducted by the Administration, Finance and Property Committee. Positions will remain open until filled.
