The County Council announced Jan. 29 that it is re-opening the process to apply for membership on the Department of Public Utilities’ Charter Review Committee.

Council will appoint a five-member committee to study utilities-related sections of the County’s charter.

The Committee will include one member of Council, one member of the Department of Public Utilities’ Board, and three citizens who meet any one of the following qualifications:

1) A member of the community with Management experience;

2) A member of the community with Accounting experience; and

3) A member of the community “at large.”

Applicants wishing to be considered for appointment to the Committee are asked to send a one or two-page letter to the Council with their name, address, phone number and e-mail address.

They are asked to state which of the three positions they are interested in, and should furnish information about their employer (if applicable), as well as a listing of their qualifications and experience.

In addition, they are asked to submit a paragraph stating “why” they would like to serve on the Committee. Letters may be e-mailed to lacadministrator@lacnm.us or mailed or hand-carried to the County Administrator’s office at 133 Central Park Square in Los Alamos. The deadline for letters of interest is 5 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 19.

The Council plans to make its appointments at the March 5 Council meeting (7 p.m. in Council Chambers, inside the Community Building.)
