Mayor Joanne Yepsen will be making appointments to the city’s Land Use Boards as terms expire at the end of this year. As this blog has documented, our city desperately needs people to serve on these boards who are independent of the real estate industry. I urge people to consider helping the city by offering to serve on these Boards. Interested city residents should email resumes to joanne.yepsen@saratoga-springs.org
It also would not hurt to urge the Mayor to appoint new members who are free of ties to the traditional special interests that now dominate these boards.
The biggest problem with the zoning boards is that it’s a 7 year commitment, and not many are willing to make it for that long of a time span (myself included).
