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.
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
The primary role of a zoning board of adjustments/appeals is to review and decide cases where there may be an error in a zoning decision or where a relaxation of the zoning ordinances is requested. Citizens are appointed by the municipal governing body and are to engage in decision-making based on the information that will provide an impartial and positive impact for the municipality on the whole, and citizen members must excuse themselves from any actions where a conflict of interest could be perceived.
