Carlsborg, Wash. – Clallam County PUD has a vacancy on the PUD Board of Commissioners following the passing of District 3 Commissioner, Jim Waddell earlier this month.
Candidates are now being sought, but applications are only being accepted until 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 7, so time is very limited.
Applicants should have a strong interest in public service, be willing to commit all the time necessary to perform the Commissioner’s duties, and have an ability to envision solutions to the challenge of fulfilling the District’s mission statement of “Providing reliable, efficient, safe, and low cost utility services in a financially and environmentally responsible manner.”
Under state law, the two remaining Commissioners have 90 days to appoint a replacement to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the unexpired term, which runs until the certification of the next general election in November of this year.
This is a paid position, with a monthly salary of $3,238, plus a per diem of $161 per day for meetings attended on behalf of the District to a maximum annual compensation of $61,000.
Application instructions can be found on the PUD website at www.clallampud.net/vacancy.
The candidate for the position must be a registered voter living within the PUD’s Third Commissioner District.
