The San Juan County Planning Commission will soon have an open position for a resident of Orcas Island. The 4-year term of Orcas Island’s Position #2 ends on 12/2016.
The Planning Commission is an essential part of the public process and community planning. State laws require each county to have a group of citizen advisors to address land use matters. The planning commission is a group of citizen volunteers appointed by the County Councilors who make recommendations to the Council on planning decisions. Workshops and public hearings of the Planning Commission are an important public forum where public opinion and advice becomes part of the County’s records and decision-making process.
Please call Lynda Guernsey, Departmental Assistant -Clerk for the Planning Commission, for information on applying.
