Marana Unwrapped

The Town of Marana is looking to fill its recently vacant council member position.

What qualifications do you need? You just have to be interested in helping the community. The staff at the Town of Marana keeps council members informed so they can make wise decisions.

What does a council member do? From the Town of Marana website, “The Marana Town Council is a seven-member governing body that makes policy for the Town and directs the allocation of resources through the fiscal budget. They are a non-partisan body elected by Town of Marana residents, including direct elections for the position of Mayor…. Council seats are paid, part-time positions, but many Council members hold other jobs or are retired.”

Because the vacancy is due to the resignation of Tim Escobedo, the Town can appoint someone to complete the unexpired term that ends on March 2009. Normally it would be an elected position.

So if you’ve always wanted to have your hand in running a town, this is the job for you. You don’t even have to do an election campaign.

Submit a letter of interest, your resume, and any other document you feel would be helpful. You have until January 18 at 5 p.m. to submit the materials to: Marana Town Clerk, 11555 W. Civic Center Drive, Marana, AZ, 85653.

Good luck!
