Argos Town council members discussed board openings when they met on Wednesday.
Clerk-Treasurer Lisa Mullaney said there a few openings left on the Plan Commission and they really need individuals to volunteer for that board. The Argos Plan Commission is supposed to have 9 members and there are currently three seats that still need to be filled.
Mullaney explained that they do their best to keep their boards equally balanced when it comes to party affiliation. Since they already have a number of Republicans on the board, she said any Democrats are especially encouraged to submit a letter of interest.
The Clerk-Treasurer added that one of the open seats must be filled with an individual who lives within the town limits and the other two seats are open to anyone living in the 2-mile unincorporated area of Argos outside of the town boundaries.
Residents can bring a letter of interest to the Clerk’s Office at 201 W Walnut Street. Mullaney said all letters will be presented in an open town council meeting where members will consider the eligibility of the candidate and decide whether or not to appoint them to the commission.
