Clatsop County is currently inviting citizens to serve on the Human Services Advisory Committee and several budget committees.
The Board of Commissioners will make the appointments. Applications will be taken through Jan. 31. Application forms are available online at www.co.clatsop.or.us under “Quick Links-Citizen Involvement,” from the office at 800 Exchange St., Suite 410, or by calling (503) 325-1000.
The Human Services Advisory Committee is seeking volunteers to fill five full-term seats ending February 28, 2014. The committee advises the County Public Health Department on services for local residents with developmental disabilities, mental illness, and drug or alcohol addictions.
Clatsop County residents can have a hand in developing their county government’s budgets for the upcoming fiscal year. These citizen committees review the proposed budgets and make recommendations to the county commissioners. Each committee is made up of five county commissioners and five other local residents they appoint. The county Budget Committee generally meets for two days in May. Seats are available on the:
Clatsop County Budget Committee: A full, three-year term representing District 5 is open on this committee, which reviews the county’s overall operating budget. Applicants must live in District 5, which covers southern Clatsop County including Cannon Beach, Arch Cape, Elsie, Hamlet and Jewell and portions of Seaside.
Road District 1 Budget Committee: One un-expired term ending February 28, 2013 is available. The committee reviews the district’s budget for roadwork such as cutting brush, patching pot holes, cleaning and replacing culverts, maintenance road shoulders and drainage ditches, grading and re-basing 220 miles of county roads. Applicants must live in the unincorporated areas of the county.
4H Extension Service District Budget Committee: One un-expired term ending February 28, 2012 is open. The district funds secretary staff, program assistants, office space, travel, supplies and other operation expenses to provide support to faculty provided by the Oregon State University Extension Service program.
