KALAMAZOO COUNTY, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The Kalamazoo County Board of Commissioners is looking to fill an open Commissioner job position.
As we reported last week, District Two Commissioner Zac Bauer has announced that he will be leaving the elected post effective June 15.

This is because he has a new job that will present conflicts.
He has just been named as the new Executive Director of Local Initiatives Support Corporation, which bolsters the community through housing and small business financing.
Bauer says there would be too many complications trying to do both jobs.
“We live in a small community and it gets complicated. People in leadership roles are asked to serve in a number of different manners and ways. Each of them created opportunities for conflict.”
Applicants must live in District 2, which includes mainly the Milwood neighborhood in Kalamazoo.
Eligible applicants will be interviewed by the full board and selected within the month. The deadline for applications is Friday, June 18.
Anyone interested can apply at kalcounty.com.
There is about a year and a half left on Bauer’s term.
