Burbank seeks applications for vacant seat on Police Commission

Burbank is accepting applications for a seat on the Police Commission after Jim Etter resigned his post last month.

Etter resigned before the City Council was to take up a possible no confidence vote after he suggested that a public speaker at a meeting in November be “slapped around a bit.” He cited his upcoming assignment to the Los Angeles County Fish and Game Commission -- and the time required to serve -- as the main reason for his decision to step down.

The city today announced that it will be accepting applications for the Police Commission post until Aug. 31.

Applications for a seat on the city’s Child Care Committee will also be accepted until Aug. 31. The committee is responsible for updating the Child Care Master plan, publishing a Child Care Directory each year and promoting the availability of “safe, high quality, accessible and affordable child care in Burbank to residents and commuting employees.”
