Boards and Commissions
Now Seeking applicants for 2010 Boards and Commissions . . .
The Arvada City Council is recruiting for applicants to fill vacancies in 2010 for each of the boards and commissions listed below. Applications and questionaires are included on each of the page links below, along with an overview and description of each board. Information is also available by calling the City Clerk's Office at 720-898-7550.
Arvada's citizen-appointed boards and commissions have been 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 and some 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 City 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 current recruitment period is December, 2009 through January 15, 2010. Applications, along with the accompanying questionnaires, are due in the City Clerk's Office by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, Janaury 15, 2010. Each application must be accompanied by the questionnaire specific to the board for which you are applying. The questionnaires can be obtained in the links below or through the City Clerk's office. You may also attach a short resume, although it is not required. Tentatively, applicants will be selected for interviews the week of February 8, 2010 with interviews scheduled for the week of February 22, 2010. Appointments will be made in April. Please note that the Arvada Council for the Arts and Humanities accepts applications for its membership all year.
