Two BLUAC seats up for 2010 election

Bigfork Eagle

Two seats are up for election on the Bigfork Land Use Advisory Committee this year.

The election will be held May 4, but candidates need to file by Feb. 18.

The committee advises the official Flathead County landuse decision-making boards and the Flathead County Commissioners on applications and proposals for development projects and growth in the Bigfork area.

It includes six elected members and one appointed member at large. Elected members serve for three years.

Candidates must be registered voters in the Bigfork Zoning District for a minimum of two years. They must file a petition of nomination signed by at least five electors of the district as well as an affidavit of person circulating the petition and an oath of candidacy.

Forms may be picked up at the Flathead County Election Office, located at 800 S. Main in Kalispell.

Those interested can also contact BLUAC Secretary Sue Hanson for more information by calling 837-5352 or e-mailing btrfly@montanasky.net.
