If you are interested in issues affecting the greater McKinleyville area, consider applying to serve on the McKinleyville Municipal Advisory Committee (MMAC).
The MMAC is responsible for gathering community input and commenting on matters related to county services, including public works, health, safety, welfare and public financing. The committee also reviews, comments on and provides advisory recommendations to the Humboldt County Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors on proposed zoning amendments and General Plan petitions and amendments affecting the McKinleyville area.
The MMAC consists of eight voting members who either reside in, own property in, or conduct business in the greater McKinleyville area. As McKinleyville is part of Humboldt County’s Fifth District, three members are appointed by the Fifth District Supervisor, while three at-large members are appointed by a majority vote of the Board of Supervisors. Additionally, one voting member must be a McKinleyville Community Services District (MCSD) Board member and another voting member serves as the MCSD General Manager.
Applications are currently being accepted for three at-large members on this committee.
