If you live on Lodge Hill in Area 7 (see map below), you have an opportunity to choose who will represent your neighborhood and Cambria on the North Coast Advisory Council for the next two years. This year, representatives for Areas 1 and 7 will be chosen.
North Coast Advisory Council Mission
The NCAC strives to develop a unified, cooperative effort among individuals, organizations and public jurisdictions interested in furthering sound community development, with resulting in a positive quality of life in the North Coast Area.
The NCAC seeks to be an organization truly representative of the people of the North Coast Area in matters of civic interest, and to represent the community before all bodies, public and private, where the subject is appropriate to the objectives of the NCAC. The NCAC serves as a forum for public review of matters identified with sound development including, but not limited to: land use, public services, circulation, zoning, public improvements and all aspects of orderly community growth. The NCAC focuses primarily on matters relative to areas of direct county supervision.
The NCAC’s authority is advisory only. The NCAC provides comments on items and issues before it, recommends approval or disapproval of them, and submits comments and recommendations that it has adopted to the Board of Supervisors, the Planning Commission, or other appropriate body.
Election day is the first Tuesday of May (May 5, 2009). The polling will take place at the Veterans Memorial Hall on Main Street from 10am-6pm. Absentee ballots are not allowed. You DO NOT have to be a registered voter to participate.
Anyone over 18 that lives in area 1 or area 7 can vote. Please bring something that shows your residential address and your ID (if your ID has your current address, proof of current residence is still requested.)
The NCAC elected members are chosen by the residents of the neighborhood in which they live. Cambrians living in other areas will not be voting this year. Next year neighborhoods represented by Areas 2, 4, 6 and 8 will be included in the elections. NCAC meets on the 3rd Wednesday from 6:30-8:30pm.
