Shh, don’t tell anyone, but there is a board vacancy....

Supervisor David Hoff was attributed with the quote below in the Morning Call (“Forks approves National Guard center”, July 7, 2006) written by Joe Nixon. This was regarding the appointment of a new recreation board member and having only two applicants apply.

''It's unfortunate there are only two candidates in a community this size,'' observed Supervisor Chairman David Hoff.

Mr. Hoff, outside of perhaps a legal positing, what have you and your fellow board members done to recruit candidates for the recreation board? Actually the same question could be raised regarding the Planning Commission, Zoning Hearing Board as well as other township positions.

Is it not true that for the most part that the Recreation Board has been handpicked by you and Supervisor Don Miller?

If you want to see more people volunteer for township boards Mr. Hoff, perhaps you can make this a priority for your remaining time on the board and before your term expires next year and your replacement is elected.
