Candidates put forward for community action team

Forty-one Sisters community members have been suggested as possible members of a team that will chart Sisters' course for the future.

The names of suggested "Community Action Team" members came from surveys handed out at a March 12 meeting in which Mike Hernandez of the US Forest Service introduced a project to devise a "community action plan" for Sisters.

Sixteen surveys were returned. The surveys also indicated 21 interests that should be represented including seniors, suingle parents and schools.

Hernandez will notify those named in the surveys by April 16; if they are interested in serving on the team they will be asked to submit a narrative describing their skills , interests and areas of concern by April 25.

The team will be formed the week of April 28, and a plan consultant will be hired in late May out of the $20,000 grant awarded for the project. Public input on the composition of the team will be sought in a May 5 public meeting.
