Clackamas County is on the hunt for volunteers to get involved with the local budget process, a chance to weigh in on everything from street lights to library books. This is an opportunity to play a crucial role in the decision-making that affects your neighborhoods and communities.
There are three advisory boards with seats ready to be filled, and the time is now to step up. Applicants interested in the CCSD#5 Budget Committee focusing on Street Lighting, the Library District of Clackamas County Budget Committee, and the Development Agency Budget Committee should mark April 12 on their calendars – that's the deadline to get your name in the ring.
If you're keen on increasing safety in your neighborhood, want to inject life into urban areas, or are passionate about the programming at your local library, these committees could use your perspective. Members don't need to worry about the time commitment either; it's a mere 3 hours per year to contribute to shaping the future of the county. Still, the impact of your voice can resonate far beyond those few hours.
Interested residents looking to make a difference should visit the county's website and apply before the approaching deadline.
