Two City Commission Seats Open Up
The Oakland Park City Commission is made up of five members. All commission members represent the city at large and serve a term of four years. Commission members may serve up to two consecutive terms. If they have served two terms, they must abstain from running again for two years.
This year, two City Commissioners, Jane Bolin and current Mayor Michael Carn, will be leaving the dais. This opens up two seats on the City Commission that will need to be filled.
Elections will be held in November and LivingInOaklandPark.com is going to tell you about those who have qualified for candidature.
