Who We’re Looking For

The County is looking for a resident to sit as a Member-at-Large on the Intermunicipal Subdivision and Development Appeal Board (SDAB). The Member-at-Large will serve on the board along with Elected Officials and Members from the Town of St. Paul, Town of Elk Point, and the Summer Village of Horseshoe Bay.

What does this role look like?

Members receive training in a one-day course, which is valid for three years. Training costs are covered by the municipality, with a per diem paid to the Member by the County for their training time. The Member’s term will continue to October 2029, and they will be paid a per diem, as well as mileage, to attend meetings.
