LINCOLN COUNTY – Lincoln County is currently accepting applications for citizen participation on several commissions.

Citizen positions on the Civil Service Commission, the Civil Service Grievance Committee, the Veterans’ Services Commission and the Local Emergency Planning Commission are open.

To qualify for the posts, candidates must be Lincoln County residents age 18 or older. Candidates also may not hold any elective or appointive public position or office of any sort, as required by state statute.
