SPI committee, board applications available

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND — City leaders are looking for a few good men and women to serve on its community boards.

The city of South Padre Island is accepting applications from volunteers willing to serve on one of three boards and committees.

Residents can volunteer their time and expertise for the benefit of the community by recommending policy, aiding fellow citizens and planning for the Island’s future.

“We’ve concentrated on being more open and transparent with our citizens and community,” said Mayor Dennis Stahl.

“One of the best ways for citizens to participate and become involved in the process of community improvement is to join one of our nine advisory boards.”

Applications are available at City Hall located at 4601 Padre Blvd. or online.

“Serving on a committee or a board is a great way to give back to your community,” stated Susan Guthrie, city manager.

“Community service is an investment to our community and the residents who live on the Island.”
