Claremont: Applications Sought For City Commissions

Press release from the City of Claremont:

April 28, 2021

Residents interested in taking a more active role in the City’s decision-making process are encouraged to apply for appointment to a City Commission. Applications are being accepted for a Planning Commission vacancy and to fill potential end-of-term vacancies on the other Commissions.

Claremont has five commissions (Architectural, Community and Human Services, Planning, Police, Traffic and Transportation) whose purpose is to advise and assist the City Council in addressing issues related to the commission’s area of concern. They do this by gathering pertinent information, hearing arguments, weighing values, and making recommendations to the Council. The specific powers and duties of each commission are attached to the application.

Each Commission is comprised of citizens appointed by the City Council. Qualifications for Commission service include: Claremont residency (with certain exceptions), a strong interest in the community and the work of the Commission, the ability to give generously of one’s time while serving, and the ability to commit to attendance at evening meetings. A personal interview with a two-member City Council sub-committee will be scheduled for all applicants. It is the Council’s goal to appoint individuals who reflect the diversity of the community.

Applications (including supplemental questions) and information are available in the City Clerk’s office, City Hall, 207 Harvard Avenue, Monday through Thursday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and by clicking the link below. Please contact the City Clerk’s office for assistance – (909) 399-5461 or (909) 399-5463.
