Help wanted: Two open spots on PRCAC

The Point Roberts Community Advisory Committee (PRCAC) will be going from two at-large members to five, and community members are being encouraged to apply for two open spots.

In the wake of the chamber of commerce’s withdrawal, county executive Satpal Sidhu will ask county council at its June 29 meeting to modify the ordinance governing PRCAC. Council has already approved making the five-person committee a seven-person committee to add two more at-large positions, and will now be asked to make the chamber of commerce position an additional at-large spot. The voters and the taxpayers associations will still hold spots on the community advisory committee.

The appointment of Bill Zidell is also on the agenda. Zidell is so far the only candidate to come forward to fill the vacant at-large positions. Individuals interested in applying for PRCAC can contact the executive at ssidhu@co.whatcom.wa.us or call the executive’s office at 360/778-5200.
