For those with a vested interest in public health and entomology, the Clark County Council has announced a call for volunteers to fill two available seats on the Mosquito Control District Board of Trustees, an announcement that offers community members a chance to take part in essential local environmental endeavors.
The board members, following their appointment, will oversee the necessary work of controlling the mosquito population in Clark County, a task that involves establishing policy, managing funds, and sanctioning contracts for services, their terms set to commence at the dawn of the new year on January 2, 2026, and will run until the closure of the year 2027 on December 31, according to details provided by the Clark County website.
Individuals interested in serving on this board will be joining a team comprised of one representative from each city or town within the county, alongside three at-large members chosen by the County Council itself, with meetings scheduled for every second Tuesday on alternating months beginning at 7 p.m. where members can choose to participate in person or via virtual platforms, offering flexible engagement options tailored for our hybrid world.
To submit an application, hopefuls are instructed to send both a résumé and a statement of interest to Jake Goodwin at the County Manager’s Office, with the options to send these documents either by traditional mail to PO Box 5000, Vancouver 98666-5000, or by electronic means through email to [email protected], applications must be received by 5 p.m. on the final Friday of October, specifically the 31, for those marking their calendars, says the Clark County Council's official call for applicants.
For additional details on board responsibilities, meeting schedules, and the broader objectives of the Clark County Mosquito Control District Board of Trustees, the council directs interested parties to peruse the information available on the Board of Trustees website.
