The Washington
State Parks and
Recreation Commission is looking for winter-sports enthusiasts to serve on the
Washington State Snowmobile Advisory Committee. The committee has two positions
that will soon become vacant. One position is for a snowmobiler who lives in
Whatcom, Skagit, Snohomish, King, Clallam, Jefferson or Island
counties. Another position is for an at-large candidate to represent
nonmotorized winter sports enthusiasts.
Nominations must be received by July 31. New appointments
begin Oct. 1.
The committee is made up of six snowmobilers and three
representatives from nonmotorized winter sports. The committee also has one
representative each from the state Department of Natural Resources, state
Department of Fish and Wildlife and Washington Association of Counties. Also
included is an ex-officio member from the Washington Department of Licensing.
The committee meets at least two weekends each year, once
during the winter and once during the summer. The committee reviews vital
issues and advises the commission and its staff on program policy and funding
priorities for snow removal, trail grooming, sanitation, education and
enforcement. Members are appointed by the commission and may serve up to two,
three-year terms. Travel, lodging and meal costs for the meetings are
reimbursed.
