Applications being accepted for Traffic and Public Safety Commission

Residents who want to serve on the Encinitas Traffic and Public Safety Commission can now apply.

Two spots are open. The deadline for incumbents to reapply is 6 p.m. on Jan. 28, while all other applicants must apply by 6 p.m. on Feb. 4. Application forms can be found on the city’s website, at encinitasca.gov.

Applicants are encouraged to briefly discuss their qualifications in front of the Encinitas City Council during its Feb. 17 meeting. That will start at 6 p.m. and be held at City Hall, 505 S. Vulcan Ave. The council is slated to make appointments at its Feb. 24 meeting.

Terms begin this March and end three years later.

The seven-member commission advises the council on the circulation of vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles, as well as on matters of public safety.

Currently, the two commission seats are held by Dave Hutchinson and Brian Grover, who can reapply if they wish.
