WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
- CONSIDERATION OF APPLICANTS
1. You will be considered for the boards and commissions for which you apply
as vacancies occur, either through the expiration of a member?s term or through
a member?s resignation. For board seats becoming vacant by the expiration
of a member's term, an incumbent wishing to be reappointed can reapply for
their seat by filling out the application and are considered in the same manner
and process as all other applicants. Incumbents are not automatically reappointed.
2. Vacancies occur throughout the year, and applications are accepted at any time.
3. Applications are held one year for consideration. If, after that time, you are still interested in applying for a board or commission, please submit a new application.
4. The Human Resources Committee meets on the second and fourth Monday of every month to consider recommendations for appointments to boards and commissions which are then submitted to the Assembly for confirmation.
5. The Assembly seeks to have broad representation from throughout the community so that in making appointments they consider many factors.
6. Applications are always welcome, and you should not feel discouraged if you are not quickly appointed or notified. If you do hear of a vacancy in which you are interested, it is suggested that you call to remind the Municipal Clerk you have an application on file.
Thank you for your interest.
