The City of Sequim is seeking applicants for two commissions.
Planning Commission – The City is seeking applicants to fill two open positions. One four-year term expires December 31, 2023, and the other on December 31, 2024. Applicants must be City of Sequim residents. The Planning Commission meets the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. with meetings lasting one to two hours. The only extra time commitment is to review meeting materials to be prepared for Commission discussion and to attend infrequent public meetings and events as an observer. This voluntary Commission serves as the City Council’s primary advisory body on policies, regulations, and capital spending related to growth and development. It may also conduct proceedings on specific land use applications, such as subdivisions.
Civil Service Commission – The City is seeking applicants to fill two open positions with a term ending December 31, 2026, and December 31, 2027. State law requires applicants must be a U.S. citizen, a registered voter in Clallam County, and have three years of residency in the City of Sequim preceding their appointment. The Sequim Civil Service Commission performs certain personnel-related aspects of the Sequim Police Department, as well as serving as a review body for police disciplinary actions. The Commission meets the first Tuesday of each month at 8:30 a.m.
All public meetings are currently held virtually via Zoom because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
