Planners sought

Two positions are available on the Pea Ridge Planning Commission. Persons interested should contact Mayor Jackie Crabtree at City Hall.

Crabtree said: "The requirements for Planning Commission are very simple, they have to live within the city limits or within our planning jurisdiction, and must be a registered voter. The way our commission is structured, no more than one-third of the members can live outside the city limits. The terms are four years and they can be reappointed."

Planners Heather Clark and Matt Powers are not seeking to be reappointed. Other members of the Planning Commission include Zach Hoyt, Dr. Karen Sherman, M.J. Hensley, Jerry Burton and Al Fowler.

Chris Johnson, Pea Ridge, has submitted an application for the Planning Commission. His application states that he is "an experienced leader with a proven background in management, land development and civil engineering." He currently works for Harrison French and Associates, Bentonville, and earned a technical degree in 2005 from Northwest Technical Institute in architectural drafting technology.
