Recruiting Applicants for Planning Commission
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 10, 2018
St. Helens, Ore. – The City of St. Helens is currently taking applications from interested persons in the community who would like to volunteer to serve on the St. Helens Planning Commission; term expiring December 31, 2022. There are currently two positions where the incumbent would like to be reappointed; however, Council policy requires that we advertise to solicit new applicants once an incumbent has completed at least two full terms.
Generally, this Commission meets once per month on the second Tuesday at 7:00 P.M. but may meet more often depending on what projects they are working on and what land use applications are received. The Commission was created and members appointed by the City Council. All committees are advisory to the Council, however, the Planning Commission is quasi-judicial and has authority to make decisions on various land use matters. This Planning Commission also acts as the Historic Landmarks Commission, so an interest in historic preservation is also required.
To learn more about the Planning Commission, please visit the City’s website at www.ci.st-helens.or.us. If you click on Your Government and then select Municipal Code and go to Title 2, Chapter 8, you can view information on the Commission. Additionally, if you click on Boards & Commissions, you will be taken to the webpage that lists the current membership information.
If you are interested in volunteering your time to serve on the Planning Commission, please go to the City’s website and click on Forms & Applications and download a Boards and Commissions Application. Print and complete the form and return it to City Hall, Attn: Kathy Payne, P.O. Box 278, 265 Strand Street, St. Helens, OR 97051. If you have any questions or would like an application mailed/emailed to you, please contact Kathy Payne, City Recorder at kathy@ci.st-helens.or.us or by calling 503-366-8217.
The deadline to submit an application is Wednesday, November 14, 2018.
