LFP has four openings on the Planning Commission

Lake Forest Park Mayor Jeff Johnson is seeking citizen volunteers to fill four positions on the Planning Commission. 

Three of the positions will be appointed for terms that expire on February 28, 2021; and the fourth position will be appointed to fill an existing vacancy for an unexpired term that ends on February 28, 2020.

It is Mayor Johnson’s desire to appoint Commissioners who represent a diverse cross-section of the Lake Forest Park community, and he invites all those interested in serving in this capacity, and who meet the residency requirement, to apply.

The Planning Commission provides recommendations to the Mayor and City Council on changes and updates to the City’s comprehensive plan, zoning code, and land use policies.

As citizen representatives, commissioners are expected to recommend programs and policies that reflect the needs and values of the community.

The Planning Commission meets on the second Tuesday of the month at 7:00pm at City Hall. Planning Commissioners are required to reside within the Lake Forest Park city limits. Terms for the Planning Commission are three years.

If you are interested in serving on the Planning Commission, submit an application form and resume / letter of interest to Mayor Jeff Johnson at City Hall or by email. Applications are requested no later than 5:00pm on Friday, February 15, 2018.
