Purpose of the Port Ludlow Village Council
The Port Ludlow Village Council is a non-profit, tax-exempt corporation. The purpose of the Council is to be a unifying force in the community: to identify issues of importance, to formulate a consensus of opinion among residents, merchants and developers, and to represent those community interests to the public as well as to government entities. The Council may also:
Acquire by donation, lease or purchase, real estate properties, facilities and services such as public utilities, and may operate and improve them.
Engage in architectural oversight of areas not under the membership of South Bay Community Association (SBCA) or Ludlow Maintenance Commission (LMC).
Promote and preserve outdoor recreational areas such as trails, lakes, wildlife habitats, greenbelts and wilderness reserves not owned by SBCA, LMC or the Developer.
The 12 member Board of Directors consists of 10 elected residents and 2 appointed members representing the SBCA and LMC. Council members serve 2 year terms, 1/2 of the Board being elected each year.
