Planning Commission
Have you thought about being part of local governance, giving back to your community, and getting to know your neighbors and neighborhood?
This spring, the Town’s Planning Commission will have 2 terms coming up for either reappointment of current members or the appointment of new members. We are also considering increasing the total number of people on the Commission. Starting March 1st, we are accepting letters of interest from Rutland residents who would like to be part of this important advisory group. The appointments turn over on April 15. We have created a list of questions and all candidates will go through the same interviewing process for these positions. The Planning Commission reviews and makes recommendations to the Town Board on matters of zoning, permits, and land use. The members meet once a month (in person or Zoom) and are expected to review application materials, be familiar with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan, know how to apply the Comprehensive Plan to the decision making process, and sometimes do site visits. Training is offered by the Wisconsin Towns Association. Compensation is $35.00 per meeting.
