“Local government works best when people with all sorts of perspectives and life experiences get involved.
“If you think you’ve got what it takes to make a positive difference in our community, we’d love to hear from you.”
Nominations are due by August 1 and require a $200 deposit and nominations from two people enrolled in the district.
“If you’re not sure where to start, just give us a call. We can answer any questions and help guide you through the process,” Palamountain said.
Candidates can also provide a 150-word profile statement, a recent headshot photo and record a 90-second video introduction.
“Just remember, your photo needs to be a clear head and shoulders shot of you.”
All candidate information will be published on the council website so voters can get to know who is standing.
