The City Council is seeking candidates for a vacancy on Bellevue’s Environmental Services Commission. Interested residents can apply online. Applications are due by Friday, Jan. 31.
Made up of volunteers and appointed by the mayor with council concurrence, Bellevue’s board and commission members serve four-year terms, offering their time and expertise to help shape the community’s future. Boards and commissions advise the council and conduct regularly-scheduled public meetings.
The Environmental Services Commission specializes in the Utilities Department’s garbage, wastewater and storm and surface water programs, specifically concerning planning, budget and rates, capital project financing, contracts and policies. The commission meets the first Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m.
