CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake City Council is looking for community members interested in serving in the city's planning commission.

The Clearlake Planning Commission has three seats coming open as of March.

City Clerk Melissa Swanson said one of the seats already has been vacated by Gina Fortino Dickson, who was elected to the Clearlake City Council in November.

Commissioners Carl Webb's and Bill Perkins' terms are expiring, said Swanson.

It was not reported if either have begun the process to apply for reappointment.

Swanson said applications are due by Feb. 28.

The new terms would run through March 11, 2017, Swanson said.

The Clearlake Planning Commission acts in an advisory capacity on planning matters – including zoning regulations, the city general plan and other land use issues – to the Clearlake City Council.

Commissioners, who serve at the will of the council, hear and act on land use matters in the city.

Planning commissioners must file disclosure documents with the state Fair Political Practices Commission and also must file periodic statements of economic interest disclosing financial interests within the jurisdiction of the city.
