High school youth member needed for citizen advisory committee

Marysville encourages local high school students to apply for a position on the CDBG Citizen Advisory Committee. This committee plays a crucial role in deciding how federal Community Development Block Grant funds are allocated to support low-moderate income residents through housing and infrastructure projects. The deadline for applications is October 2, and the selected member will serve a one-year term, with possible extensions for two additional years. To qualify, applicants must be of high school age and live within Marysville city limits. Mayor Jon Nehring will recommend candidates, and the City Council will confirm appointments.

The committee's work includes evaluating proposals, recommending funding, and reviewing program performance according to a consolidated plan. This initiative highlights the city's commitment to involving youth in local governance, fostering civic engagement among young residents. Committee meetings are open to the public, ensuring community oversight of the funding process.
