Lewiston residents encouraged to volunteer for city committees

LEWISTON — Mayor-Elect Mark Cayer is seeking volunteers to serve as members of the city’s boards and committees.
Lewiston residents who are interested in applying can contact the City Clerk Department to complete a committee volunteer application. Application forms are also available on the city’s website at www.lewistonmaine.gov. Committee descriptions, meeting times and other information about committee service are also available on website.
Applications are requested to be submitted no later than 4 p.m. Friday, Dec. 27.
The following city boards and committees have openings: Board of Appeals, Cable TV Committee, Complete Streets Committee, Finance Committee, Historical Preservation Review Board, L/A Community Forestry Board, Lewiston Area Public Health Committee, Library Board of Trustees and Planning Board.
Because of residency requirements in the city Charter, neither the Board of Appeals nor the Planning Board may have more than two members serving simultaneously from the same wards. This provision is to ensure adequate and balanced representation from all sections of the city.
Residents may contact the City Clerk Department at 207-513-3124 with questions about the committee appointment process. Office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
