RCPC Wants You!

If you read each month’s Rockridge News and feel like you’d like to be doing something more for Rockridge than just reading about it, here’s your chance. The Rockridge Community Planning Council (RCPC) has two seats available on its board of directors. One position would replace Christopher Walters, who was elected to the board in April but was unable to serve in the position. The other position is RCPC’s merchant seat, filled annually by appointment.

The RCPC board meets once a month and makes decisions on RCPC’s policies and its stance on current issues, ranging from development projects (like the College Avenue Safeway Shopping Center) to parking policy. Board members also sit on several RCPC committees, including land use, transportation, schools, parks, and public safety. Board members can expect to spend an average of 2-3 hours a week on RCPC business.

Opportunity knocks! To respond to the call, send your letter of interest to the RCPC, 4123 Broadway, PMB 311, 94611, or via e-mail to chair@rockridge.org. July 31 is the deadline to get your letter in.

Questions may be addressed to the above e-mail address, or by leaving a voicemail message at 510/869-4200.
