Press Release June 2, 2021:

CAC Chair is asking for community participants to serve on the 6 CAC committees

Dear Member of the Press,
In accordance with the CAC Bylaws and as Chairperson of the Clintonville Area Commission, it is my duty to inform the public and the residents of Clintonville that the CAC is currently seeking interested parties to serve on its various committees. It is the function of the CAC Chairperson, in consultation with the other Commission members, to appoint chairpersons of standing and special committees of the Commission.

Those committees are:

• The Election Committee – The Election Committee shall conduct the CAC elections pursuant to the CAC election rules and shall meet as often as necessary to fulfill its duties as specified in the CAC election rules
• The Planning and Development Committee – The committee will explore what Federal, State, and local funds may be available to implement plans in the Clintonville area. The committee will provide arenas for interested parties and the general population to participate and discuss all such issues affecting Clintonville. The committee will work pro-actively with other community based organizations to forward the development and promotion of Clintonville in a manner consistent with the Commission’s mission statement.
• The Zoning and Variance Committee – The committee shall regularly receive, review and make recommendations on all applications for rezoning, variances, graphics and other zoning adjustment appeals and special permits located wholly or partially in the Clintonville area.
• The Historic Buildings Committee – The committee will pursue a process to catalogue buildings in Clintonville, with an emphasis on all buildings along High Street and Indianola Avenue. The purpose of having an up-to-date database for historic buildings in the CAC districts is to provide a basic understanding of which properties are deemed architecturally or historically significant.
• The Technology and Public Relations Committee – CAC will maintain and update a website to aid in communicating with the community at large. CAC will hold domain names as the responsible entity.
  • Depending on what is required, the commission chair and treasurer shall act as agents for the commission to hold the domain names. When officers change the agents must be changed within 30 days of the verification of the election of CAC officers. The CAC will form a technology committee that includes the chair and treasurer and at least one other person.
  • The committee will: Formulate and present to the entire commission for approval rules for use and content of the website and other commission platforms; Oversee the maintenance, updating and payment for website hosting, domain names and any other needs for a workable public website and other official public communications platforms.
• The Clintonville GreenSpot Neighborhood Committee – The mission of the Clintonville GreenSpot Neighborhood Committee, as part of the Clintonville Area Commission, will encourage green practices and sustainability in the community of Clintonville. This effort is open to all community residents, businesses and organizations.

“As we cross through the COVID pandemic threshold and return to normalcy, it is with enthusiasm and encouragement that we collectively breathe new life into the commission and its committees. Clintonville has an evolving shift in demographic dynamics but preserves its values through community participation in its representation of that dynamic. Everyone is welcome to participate on a committee and all CAC meetings are publicly available online at ChannelClintonville.com.” B.J. White, CAC Chairperson.

Interested parties shall submit their letters of interest to the Clintonville Area Commission at the contact information cited at the heading of this press release. If you have additional interest in leading a committee, please provide a brief summary conveying your leadership abilities to chair a committee specific to that particular committee’s purpose and function. The deadline for your expressed participation is July 15th, 2021. After consultation with other Commission members during the August 5th, 2021 CAC Meeting, the newly elected Chairperson of the CAC will announce the committee members and committee chairpersons.

Warm regards,
