Saratogan needed to represent city

The city is seeking a resident to represent Saratoga at meetings of the Countywide Joint Child Care Committee and the Children and Youth Collaborative Task Force. The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors requested that the city appoint a child-care coordinator, but officials decided they do not have the resources to devote to the task.

Anyone interested in serving as the city's coordinator can call Grace Cory, Saratoga's deputy city clerk, at 868-1269 by Feb. 27.
