Spring activities will require staffing. Apply by March 15 for a dozen openings on various city commissions and committees.
Spring is arriving soon in Piedmont with activities for people of all ages and especially for families to enjoy, from the annual Bunny Blast to youth holiday camps, above. This year, adults won't be left out and will instead want to take advantage of a special opportunity now that the city of Piedmont is taking applications for 12 volunteer positions on seven city commissions or committees.
This year, vacancies are available on the Public Safety and the Budget Advisory and Financial Planning committees; the Police and Fire Pension Board; and the Planning, Park, Civil Service and Recreation commissions. In addition to basic background information, applicants specify which vacancy each would like to fill and answer questions about their relevant experience, why they seek the appointment and what they could bring to the commission or committee.
“At the time, we had had the same Recreation Commission members for 40 years, and I worked on a project to understand what the community wanted. From there, I saw there were more ways to get involved and applied for the Budget Advisory and Financial Planning Committee. I felt because of my background that I could add value.
Recognizing not just benefits but the community’s diverse needs is one reason people with a variety of backgrounds and interests are highly sought. Cavenuagh often encourages newcomers to apply. “But we also have people who are simply strong park users or have interest in sustainability and landscaping. They don’t have to have special skills; they just have to want to bring their perspective to the committee.”
“They’re not part of a commission or committee directly, but this is how our community developed events that foster what makes Piedmont special. That’s the magic that can happen when people volunteer in their community.”Animal rescue group abandons dozens of dogs at California kennelConcord cops raid hotel after learning guests had turned three rooms into a brothel
