Lynden is seeking candidates for its three-member Civil Service Commission, with letters of interest due October 15, 2026.
The commission oversees aspects of hiring and employment for police officers and firefighters. The city says experience in personnel management or employee relations would be useful, but lists eligibility separately: applicants must be U.S. citizens, registered voters and residents of Lynden for at least three years before appointment.
Current city officers and employees cannot serve. The mayor appoints the commissioner to an unpaid six-year term.
Application materials and submission instructions are linked in the city’s August 6 notice. Questions can be directed to Civil Service Secretary Amanda Faria at 360-255-7114.
