County Accepting Applications For ESD 2 Board Positions

TYLER — Smith County is now accepting applications for two positions on the Emergency Services District #2 Board, set to expire on December 31, 2012.

Applications will be accepted through November 15. An ESD is governed by a board of commissioners who are appointed for two year staggered terms. All members must own real property or be registered voters in the district where they serve.

You’re asked to visit the Smith County Website at http://www.smith-county.com if you’re interested in submitting an application. Applications can be found by selecting the “Government” tab on the home page, selecting the “Commissioners Court” page, then clicking on the tab labeled “Boards and Commissions.” You may direct any questions to the Smith County Public Relations Office at 903-590-4607.
