Applications are being accepted for Columbia Vision Commission

COLUMBIA, MO (October 8, 2008) - The City Clerk’s Office is accepting
applications for the Columbia Vision Commission. The purpose of this new
commission is to track, monitor and assist with the implementation of
the community visioning process by conducting periodic reviews and
issuing an annual report on the progress of visioning implementation to
the community. In addition, in the future, this commission will
recommend implementation tasks and offer public education and outreach
programs.

The commission will consist of:
● Seven coordinating committee members, including two who are
residents of Boone County not residing within the city limits of
Columbia, all of whom will be appointed by the Council; and 
● Up to five resource members, all of whom will be appointed by the
Council. 

Candidates for coordinating committee positions must have demonstrated
a commitment to the visioning process. Candidates for coordinating
committee positions and for resource member positions will be evaluated
on their ability to work with data and understand systematic
relationships; their ability to work collaboratively; their management
skills; their independence; existing memberships or positions; and
contributions to the diversity of the commission. 

Resource members would help in the work of the commission and share
their expertise in one or more substantive areas, such as (but not
limited to) data collection, fund-raising, intergovernmental
cooperation, management and process design. 

Citizens and organizations may nominate candidates for the commission
by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at cityclerk at GoColumbiaMo.com or
(573) 874-7207, and providing contact information for the person they
would like to nominate. Those nominated will be contacted and asked to
submit an application. Nominations must be received by noon on Friday,
Oct. 31, to allow time for that person to complete and submit the
application by its corresponding deadline date. 

Self-nominations will be acceptable as well. An application form can be
completed and submitted directly to the City Clerk’s Office for
self-nominations. Applications can be obtained at the City Clerk’s
Office or can be found on the city’s Web site:

Applications must be in the City Clerk’s Office, 701 E. Broadway, 4th
Floor, by noon on Friday, Nov. 7.
