The July 15, 2009 issue of the Roanoke Times Current sports this ad:
Christiansburg Planning Commission
The Town will accept cover letters, resumes, and applications until Friday July 31, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. at the Town Manager’s Office, Town Hall, 100 E. Main Street, Christiansburg, VA 24073. A Town of Christiansburg job application is required and may be obtained at the Town Municipal Building during normal office hours of 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. EOE.
Okay now folks, here is an opportunity for you to have some say as to how things are going and growing in Christiansburg. Along with the recommendations mentioned above, there is one VERY IMPORTANT role that the Planning Commission members have … the Development and Review of the Town’s Comprehensive Plan.
Anyone have any idea why you have to go to Town Hall to pick up the application instead of applying on the website as for other positions? Seems like just another hurdle to reduce the number of applicants to me.
I will also note that minority groups are severely under represented on this Commission. Hopefully, this will be the opportunity for that to change. If there is anyone interested in applying and would like any assistance in getting their paperwork done or would like to know what the State Codes say about the job of Planning Commissioner, I will be happy to assist. Use the contact author link on this page, email me at calindstrom@verizon.net, or call 540-382-6431.
***and no, I can’t apply. If I did who would handle the camera and audio recorder for the meetings?:)***
