A person who wants this position should be capable of critical analysis, make independent decisions, conscientiously apply unprejudiced standards to a variety of zoning and land use situations, and adhere to board rules and regulations. Training regarding zoning is available throughout the state.
The second opening is for a member at large position on the Eastern Shores Library System Board. That position begins in January, and runs through 2018.
That board oversees the library services offered in Sheboygan and Ozaukee counties. That includes the 13 public libraries in the counties, plus the bookmobile that services rural areas.
Anyone interested in this position must be able to make meetings on the last Monday of the month, which is at least six times per year. The time commitment is typically two hours for each regular meeting, and another two hours a month for committee meetings.
