Coulee Dam seeks citizens to serve

Coulee Dam is seeking town residents to serve on three boards and fill one council seat.

Mayor Gregory Wilder is asking members of the public to step up and fill three Civil Service Commission seats, five Planning Commission places, and six commission seats on the town’s Natural Resource Board (tree board).

The positions, Wilder stated, have either been vacant or unfilled, and he would like to get residents more active in town government.

The council position became vacant recently with the resignation of Bob Poch, who served the town for 28 years.

Wilder stated that anyone interested in serving in these capacities can email him at (cdmayor@couleedam.org) or come to or call city hall, stating their interest.

He emphasized that he would like to add a parks and recreation section to the town’s comprehensive plan, and needs a planning commission to accomplish this.

“This would enable the town to better obtain grants,” Wilder said.
