The City of New Melle Board of Adjustment needs one (1) new member. The Board of Adjustment only meets when necessary and has only met two times this year. It consists of five (5) members that hear requests for variances of the building codes, zoning, or other property related issues. The Board is a “recommendation only” board and would make recommendation to the Planning and Zoning Commission or Board of Aldermen to either accept or deny a variance. The Board of Aldermen would be the final voting body to determine the outcome of the request.

Please consider volunteering for these much-needed positions with the City of New Melle and become involved in the decision-making process of its future. For more information or questions, contact Savanna at 636-828-4807.
