Mill Valley Looking to Fill Spot on County’s Commission on Aging Board

The Mill Valley City Council is looking for volunteers to apply for a recently vacated seat on the Marin County Commission on Aging. Applications are due to the City Clerk’s office by 5 p.m. on September 6.

“Anita Garner alerted us earlier in the week that she has taken on a new job assignment, requiring a great deal of travel and she feels that she will not be able to fulfill her duties on the Commission anymore,” said Mil Valley City Clerk Kelsey Rogers. 

The appointed candidate would fill the current interim vacancy which expires on June 30, 2014 and then be eligible to reapply for the next three year term from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017.

The commission is a 23-member federally mandated advisory council to the Marin County Board of Supervisors. Members work closely with the County's Division of Aging and Adult Services on behalf of Marin's older adults. 

Commissioners are appointed to three-year terms by the City Councils of the 11 incorporated Cities and Towns in Marin. In addition, Marin County's Senior Assembly Member and Senior Senator, representatives of the California Senior Legislature (CSL) also serve as ex-officio members for a four-year term. 

Commission meetings are held at various locations throughout Marin on the second Thursday of each month except for August. 

Those interested should contact the City Clerk's Office, 26 Corte Madera Avenue, Mill Valley, CA, 94941, (415) 388-4033 or email the City Clerk at krogers@cityofmillvalley.org. Applications can also be obtained online.
