Calling All Citizen Planners

Live in the City of Bemidji? Want to have a say in development activity? Like to get paid $50 a month?

There is an opening for a City resident on the Joint Planning Commission. In an effort to spread the word about this "volunteer" opportunity, we've had an ad in the Bemidji Pioneer the past week. The JPC is a twelve-member board charged with long range planning and reviewing planning cases for the greater Bemidji area.

This used to be a volunteer position, but since last year, members are paid $50 per meeting. Applications are available at City Hall or by calling the City Clerk's office (218-759-3570).
