Deadline pushed back for Planning Commission, hospital board applications

Lack of applications causes extension

The City and Borough of Juneau Assembly voted unanimously Monday night to push back the deadline for applications for the Planning Commission and Bartlett Regional Hospital Board.

Citing lack of applications, Assemblyman Rob Edwardson motioned to move the deadline from Nov. 19 to Dec. 5. CBJ is currently seeking four applications for seats on the Planning Commission and three applications for seats on the Hospital Board. Incumbents will not automatically be reappointed and need to reapply if they wish to be reconsidered.

Applicants can apply online at https://beta.juneau.org/clerk/boards-committees.

For additional information, call the Municipal Clerk’s Office at 586-5278 or via email at City.Clerk@juneau.org.

Interviews for the positions will be postponed until Dec. 13.
