The office of Mayor Terry Frank said in an announcement that there is one opening on the Conservation Board, which oversees operations of the county parks.
Additionally, Frank is seeking applications for six people to serve on the new Animal CRE nd Control Control Advisory Board, which was created by the County Commission recently.
There are openings on the committee for a veterinarian or professional with an advanced degree in animal science; a person representing an animal welfare nonprofit; and four citizens to serve as at-large members.
This committee will work with the mayor to advance the goals of sheltering lost, abandoned and forgotten animals.
Applications for both boards will be accepted through Friday, February 6.
An application may be obtained by calling or emailing the mayor’s office or visiting online at andersoncountytn.gov, where the applications are posted to the website’s homepage.
Completed applications must be emailed to tfrank@andersoncountytn.gov.
