The new deadline to apply for the following city boards is Dec. 20 (previously Nov. 1)
VANCOUVER – The city of Vancouver has extended the deadline to apply for volunteer positions on two advisory boards and commissions. The new deadline to apply for the following city boards is Dec. 20 (previously Nov. 1):
- Downtown Redevelopment Authority Board (DRA): A public corporation chartered by the city that owns the Vancouver Hilton Hotel and Convention Center (Hilton) downtown and oversees its operations, finances and promotion. DRA is also one of the major partners in the city’s Waterfront Gateway Project, a long-term redevelopment plan for the city-owned properties around the Hilton.
- Vancouver Public Facilities Board (VPFD): This volunteer board owns several parcels of land downtown, including the parcel under the Hilton in downtown Vancouver. The land is leased to the city’s DRA. The VPFD receives funding from the state sales tax credit program and transfers it to the DRA. The sales tax credit revenue funds a portion of the tax-supported bonds issued to finance the construction of the Hilton. The VPFD board is also responsible for approving annual budgets and monitoring the use of the funds.
Learn more and apply for either board at www.cityofvancouver.us/boards. For a printed application or further information, contact the boards and commissions coordinator in the City Manager’s Office at P.O. Box 1995, Vancouver, WA 98668-1995, bc_coordinator@cityofvancouver.us, or by calling (360) 487-8600.
