Longtime commission member George won’t seek reappointment; commission seeks candidates for three vacancies
Summary
George said he will not renew his seat and commissioners noted three vacancies (two town seats, one village seat) with no applicants by advertised deadlines; members urged outreach to recruit replacements.
WAWARSING — The commission learned this month that George will not seek reappointment to his seat, creating one of three current vacancies the group hopes to fill before next year.
Members said the town and village posted the positions but received no applications by the advertised deadlines. Commissioners discussed recruitment strategies and noted that village requirements differ: the two town seats require town residency while the village seat can be held by a non-resident.
"We have three vacancies," the chair said, and several members urged outreach to community networks. Grace volunteered to take minutes for the meeting; members also thanked George for his years of service and noted his willingness to remain involved informally. Commissioners encouraged friends and neighbors to consider applying and planned to highlight vacancy notices when the village and town reopen recruitment in January.
What’s next: The commission will include vacancies and ways to apply in its communications and asked members to spread the word. George said he will remain available as a resource to the commission where appropriate.
