VOLUNTEERS WANTED
The Village of Minong is looking for citizens to volunteer for some side committees. There are openings on the Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals. If you are interested in being a citizen member of either of these committees, please send a letter or email to janel@villageofminongwi.gov. Or better yet! Come to a board meeting and express your interest. Board meetings are held on the first Monday of each month, starting at 5:00 p.m. Agenda information can be found on our website.
PLANNING COMMISSION’S PRIMARY ROLE
The planning commission is a body of citizens that serve within local government, acting as an advisory group to the municipal governing body on issues and policies related to zoning, planning, land use regulation, and community development. Citizens are appointed to the commission by the Village governing body and represent the municipality at large. Planning Commission members do not represent any particular person, business, or group within their municipality. Instead, the goal is to provide impartial input and guidance that will positively affect the entire municipality and excuse themselves from any actions where a conflict of interest could be perceived.
