The Municipality of Chatham-Kent is seeking five individuals to serve on its newly revamped Property Standards Committee and has extended the deadline for applications to this Friday, Nov. 10.
The committee meets on an as-needed basis to hear appeals made by citizens who received orders to comply with the property standards bylaw.
In May of this year, Chatham-Kent council voted to alter the committee structure to reflect the trend across Ontario in which such committees are comprised of citizens rather than council members.
Committee members receive a $50-per-meeting remuneration fee as well as mileage from their place of residence to the meetings, which are held at the Civic Centre in Chatham.
Residents are invited to submit an application by visiting the municipal website. Applicants may also provide a bio/resume highlighting relevant experience and qualifications.
