[Sosfbay-discuss] IRV and San Jose Elections & other openings

[Wes Rolley]

The City of San Jose currently has 2 vacancies on the Elections 
Commission.  You can read the notice here 
<http://www.sanjoseca.gov/clerk/CommissionBoard/Election/ECVacnacy.pdf> 
(pdf file)   The date for applying has been extended to March 2.  Is 
this a sign that they are not finding enough applicants?   This would be 
a great opportunity for a Green to step forward and to start to 
implement IRV in San Jose.

These are just 2 of 17 openings on various city commissions in San 
Jose.. as you can read on their web site 
<http://www.sanjoseca.gov/clerk/Vacancy.asp>.

The City of Sunnyvale has a list of openings on 9 commission  for which 
they have posted an announcement 
<http://sunnyvale.ca.gov/City+Council/Boards+and+Commissions/openings.htm>.  
I have started to focus on influencing planning commissions.  Sunnyvale 
had openings on the planning commission and a special Board of Building 
Code Appeals.

The City of Morgan Hill will have openings for 4 members on the planning 
commission in June, 2007.  I am actively searching for someone to take 
part here.  I have heard that all 4 members will attempt to retain their 
position, but it is always open.

I will continue with these notices if anyone thinks they are valuable.
