We need some folks to be on boards and commissions

Terms are up for some folks on June 30 in our various boards and commissions here in Roland. Some folks have volunteered to stay on, which is awesome. Others have chosen to move on. So I have some openings to fill. If you are interested in any of them, please let me know, or contact City Hall. Here is what we need:

Board of Adjustment 1 person. This is a board that meets only when somebody wants to build something that does not meet our zoning regulations. This board considers if it is a legit reason, and if an exception is worthy--maybe like building a garage 1 foot closer to the lot line than allowed, or something like that. I think this board has met once in the last 2 years.

Park Board 1 person. This board meets once a month I think. They work on the budget for the park, and work on any issues that may come up regarding our parks. This is one where you can have a much bigger impact on Roland. There are already a great group of people on this board.

Planning and Zoning 1 person and maybe 2. This commission meets only if there is a new subdivision going in, or if there is a zoning change. This one also meets very rarely. I think maybe they met somewhat recently regarding the new townhomes going in north of the car wash. It might have been commercial, and it got changed to residential (which was a legit thing, since there is residential right across the street). Otherwise it doesn't meet much.

The pay is $0! I guess the only real benefit is that you can feel good about helping Roland, and what the heck, it looks good on a resume. Please consider one of these roles.
