City Council Seeking Applicants for Citizen Appointed Boards and Commissions

The Arvada City Council is recruiting for applicants to fill vacancies for 2007 on the boards and commissions as set out below.  Information is also available on the City’s web site, or call the Arvada City Clerk’s Office at 720-898-7550. 

Boards and Commissions are established for the purpose of acquiring and studying information in specific areas and to make recommendations to the City Council on issues within the board’s area of expertise.  Some boards are quasi-judicial and have decision-making powers within their areas of expertise; others are advisory boards to both staff and City Council.  The City relies heavily on citizen volunteers to study special community issues, provide staff direction, obtain public comment on key projects, and take action or offer recommendations to Council on any number of matters.  These groups are the community’s voice that influences public policy and decisions that impact the entire City. 

The recruitment period is January/February, 2007.  Applications, along with the accompanying questionnaires, are due in the City Clerk’s Office by February 23, 2007.  Each application must be accompanied by the questionnaire which can be obtained on the City’s web site or through the City Clerk’s Office.  Applicants selected for interviews will be notified during February and March.
