The Town of Superior enjoys a rich history of civic engagement and community participation -- most notably through its extensive use of advisory committees and commissions. Dozens of residents contribute an untold number of hours advising the Board of Trustees and staff on such important issues as:
* land use and development (Planning Commission);
* parks and recreation (PROSTAC)
* open space acquisitions (OSAC)
* environment (Recycling and Conservation Committee)
* historic preservation (Historic Commission)
At this time, a vacancy exists on the Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Trails Advisory Commission (PROSTAC). This group has traditionally been involved in planning for a variety of new park amenities; and is currently working on a major initiative to expand Community Park to the east side of Rock Creek Parkway, adding a host of new attractions. Residents interested in serving on PROSTAC are encouraged to obtain an application from the Town's website (www. townofsuperior.com) and submit your expression of interest by August 14th.
The Town Board also recently agreed to establish a Home Rule Task Force, designed to independently study the issue of whether the Town should pursue a home rule charter initiative. It is anticipated that this group will be appointed in mid-September and tasked with rending a recommendation on this issue by the end of the year. Again, individuals interested in serving on the Home Rule Task Force are encouraged to complete an application, contact a Town Board member or call Town Hall.
