Applications are open for the Area Eight 2nd alternate representative on the Pacific Palisades Community Council Board of Directors.
“The 2nd alternate Area Eight position has become vacant because the former Primary Representative Reza Akef has resigned and the former 2nd Alternate Representative Andrew Wolfberg has been promoted to the primary position, pursuant to PPCC’s bylaws,” according to PPCC. “The current 1st Alternate Representative Eli Safaie-Kia wishes to remain in the 1st alternate position.”
Those who wish to apply for the seat must reside in Area Eight, which includes Riviera sections north and south of Sunset Boulevard up to Allenford Avenue, the Paul Revere Charter Middle School grounds and The Riviera Country Club.
“All interested persons must submit a statement of any length, which shall include the number of years residing in Pacific Palisades, the number of years as a resident of Area Eight, the number of years at the applicant’s current principal residence and that address,” PPCC explained. “The statement must include the applicant’s position on issues they believe are of importance to the community and may also include a few biographical facts, including any skills that the applicant would bring to PPCC.”
Candidates will then be reviewed and nominated by the PPCC “Three Chairs” Committee, and then elected by the board. Alternate representatives are encouraged to attend PPCC meetings and participate in discussions, but will not vote unless the primary representative is absent.
Statements must be sent to info@pacpalicc.org by January 7 at 9 p.m. The person selected will serve through September 30—the same term as Area 8 Representative Andrew Wolfberg.
