Positions Open on Several City Panels

Calabasas residents willing to serve the city in an advisory capacity are encouraged to apply for several seats on council-appointed commissions.

The city is trying to fill vacancies on a newly formed Calabasas Tree Advisory Board, as well as four positions with the Traffic and Transportation Commission and the Parks and Recreation Commission, which will open in March.

All potential appointees must reside in Calabasas and must file by Feb. 28.

For the Tree Advisory Board, the City Council is looking for residents who are familiar with the issues, interests and needs of the community with regard to tree planting and care.

The five-member advisory board will consider recommendations for the adoption of the Urban Forestry Master Plan, and make recommendations to the council to carry out the plan’s policies and goals.

Three appointments will be made for an initial one-year term, and two will be made for a regular two-year term.

Also, two terms on the city’s Traffic and Transportation Commission will be available March 31. The commissioners advise the council on matters pertaining to citywide transportation.

Two terms on the city’s Parks and Recreation Commission will also open on March 31. These commissioners advise the council on park acquisition, development and maintenance and other recreation programs and issues within the city.

Application forms may be obtained at Calabasas City Hall, 26135 Mureau Road, or by calling (818) 878-4225.
