Alternates for Zoning Board of Appeals & Park Commission

Rootstown Township has openings for alternate members of the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Park Commission. Alternates are responsible for attending monthly meetings and filling in for a regular member when someone is absent.

The Zoning Board of Appeals is a quasi-judicial board that reviews applications for variances and Conditional Use Permits. The Park Commission oversees the township park and makes recommendations to the Trustees.

These are volunteer positions and not paid employment. You must be a resident of Rootstown Township to serve on either board. If you are interested, please send a letter of interest to rootstownzoning@gmail.com.
