City Of Ramsey Seeks Civic-Minded Volunteers For Advisory Commission Seats

If you've been itching to get more involved in the local government or have insightful opinions about how the City of Ramsey could better manage economic development, the environment, parks, recreation, or city planning, well, here's your chance. The City of Ramsey has just announced that they are accepting applications to fill seats on several of their advisory commissions. These are bodies of citizen volunteers that provide recommendations to the City Council on a variety of pressing topics impacting the community.

The available boards and commissions include the Economic Development Authority, Environmental Policy Board, Parks and Recreation Commission, and Planning Commission. It’s worth noting that these roles are not just ceremonial; they play a critical part in shaping the city's future by ensuring that the community's voice is not only heard but also thoughtfully considered. You can find more details and apply for a seat by visiting the City of Ramsey's website. Just remember to not just quickly submit your application but also to thoroughly consider how you could contribute – the first review of applications will begin on Friday, February 28, 2025.

According to a social media post from the City of Ramsey, there's no hard deadline for these applications. Seats will remain open until filled. However, the early bird gets the worm, or in this case, the early applicant grabs the attention of city officials, as interviews and the subsequent start of new terms follow this review period.

For those needing more information before taking the plunge, you're encouraged to reach out to Human Resources at 763-433-9866. Don't shy away from grabbing this opportunity to effect change and potentially to shape policy in Ramsey. Whether it’s about business development, the integrity of local ecosystems, the joys of public spaces, or the direction of infrastructure and housing, being a part of these commissions is a chance to make sure your community reflects the values and needs you deeply care about.
