If you’re looking for a simple way to serve our community, please consider applying for one of two open seats on a citizens advisory committee that helps the city reinvest in its agricultural heritage.

The Agricultural Mitigation Fee Committee makes recommendations to the City Council on how to spend grant money generated from fees the city collects when agricultural land is developed for other uses in the coastal zone. The grants support certain types of agricultural or coastal restoration projects that enhance quality of life in Carlsbad. 

The committee typically meets once a year, so it’s a great option for people who have always wanted to serve on a city board or commission but don’t have a lot of time available. 

The application process is easy; just fill out and submit the application on the city’s website. Applications are due by noon Friday, Feb. 9.
