Vacancies on Wayland boards and commissions
There remain a number of vacancies on boards and commissions. There is a vacancy on the Wastewater Management District Commission for a term expiring June 30, 2012. This committee oversees operation of the wastewater treatment facility that services about 75 properties along Boston Post Road, Cochituate Road and Concord Road. Construction of the upgraded plant is expected to begin later this year. Expertise in construction, engineering and financial management is desired. Appointees do not have to be property owners within the district.
There are two vacancies on the seven-member Conservation Commission for terms expiring June 30, 2011 and 2012. This committee reviews applications for activities within protected wetlands and adjacent buffer areas. Appointees should have the ability to interpret and apply regulations and a willingness to work with applicants to find solutions that balance development desires with protection of wetland resources.
The Board of Selectmen is also seeking interested citizens willing to serve on the Economic Development Committee, with preference given to individuals with professional expertise in commercial real estate financing or development; real estate law; utilities or technology; marketing or merchandising; business or non-profit organization development; training and education; business owners; or participation in business associations and organizations. The seven-member panel will advise other boards and committees on matters related to economic development and support projects that expand the Town's commercial tax base in a manner that strengthens the local economy and diversifies the tax base consistent with the character of our community.
