Lafayette positions open

Patriots living in Lafayette: Here is our chance to reverse the socialist trends in Lafayette, and inject the voice of liberty. The positions listed bellow are appointed, and so you would not need to put on a costly, and time consuming campaign. The commitment would be comparatively small, considering the rewards for lady liberty. I am asking, nay begging, that every Lafayette Libertarian apply for these positions (I am). Besides adding to the total number of Libertarians serving in office in Boulder County (and thus adding to our credibility), you could make a real impact for liberty in these positions. PLEASE apply today. Below is the information as printed in the city newsletter, and/or the city web page.

• Planning Commissioners to be named in June

  The Planning Commission is a group of nine citizens who meet to make land use decisions in a public forum. Three members are taken from the city council, and the remaining six are volunteers from the community who are appointed by the Mayor. Commissioners serve either a two or a four year term. The planning Commission must determine the benefit or impact for the entire community of each land use proposal brought before it. The City's Comprehensive Plan goals, the Business development Plan, and the property owner's underlying property fights are also considered.

  Planning Commission meetings are typically held on the fourth Monday and Tuesday of each month. The meetings start at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at city hall, and are open to the public. They are also televised on Channel 16, and a videotape of each meeting is available at the library.

  There will be three planning Commission appointments made in June 2001. You must be registered to vote and a resident of Lafayette for at least one year to be eligible to serve on the planning Commission. If you are interested in serving on the Planning Commission, please write a letter of interest to the Mayor. Contact the Planning Department at (303) -665-5588, ext. 3329 for more information. http://www.cityoflafayette.com/city_government/planning.html

• Zoning Board

  I also noticed while looking at the city's web site, that the zoning board is made up of either people whose terms have expired (6-00), or about to expire (6-01). See below. http://www.cityoflafayette.com/city_government/boards.html. Please contact Mr. Kaufman for information concerning these positions.
