The city of Maple Valley is seeking volunteers to serve a two-year term on the 2011/2012 Lake Wilderness Citizen Advisory Committee. The committee was created to represent city residents and property owners to the City Council. The committee provides input on the lake’s annual work program and the year-end report to City Council, the City Manager and the Lake Wilderness Preservation Association.

Citizen members are appointed by the mayor, subject to the consent of the City Council. The committee will meet a minimum of four evenings each year at a date and time convenient to the members. Applications are available on the city’s website at www.maplevalleywa.gov, under News Releases & Newsletters, or at City Hall, 22017 SE Wax Road, Suite 200, or by calling City Hall at 425-413-8800.
