The city of Philomath is accepting applications from residents interested in serving on three city committees that were not filled at the City Council’s Jan. 12 meeting.
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until the positions are filled. Residents who wish to be considered for appointments must submit applications by the end of the day on Feb. 4. The appointments will be made during the Feb. 9 council meeting.
Two volunteer positions are available on the Heritage Tree Program Committee for three-year terms expiring Dec. 31, 2028. The committee consists of two volunteers and three elected council members who meet as needed to discuss the program and select trees for acknowledgment.
Three positions are open on the Inclusivity Ad Hoc Committee, which includes six volunteers and three council members. The committee meets monthly on the fourth Tuesday to develop programs and events promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in Philomath. Two positions are for standard two-year terms expiring Dec. 31, 2027, while one position will complete an unexpired term ending Dec. 31 of this year.
Two positions are available on the Park Advisory Board for three-year terms expiring Dec. 31, 2028. The seven-member board provides recommendations to the City Council on park-related issues and typically meets on the first Tuesday of each month. The city particularly encourages applications from residents interested in helping coordinate the annual Music in the Park summer concert series.
