CITY SEEKING VOLUNTEERS FOR ARTS COMMISSION, CITIZENS’ RECREATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND PLANNING COMMISSION LONE TREE, CO - There are currently vacancies on the Arts Commission, Citizens’ Recreation
Committee and Planning Commission. Qualification includes residency in the City for at least one year; ability to commit time to review packet materials and attend meetings; and a strong interest in making Lone Tree a great community in which to live and work. Citizen participation in our Commissions, Boards & Committees (CBC) helps to ensure that our local government is truly addressing the needs of the community through the services, planning and decision making provided by each board. Citizen participation in local government is strongly encouraged. Citizen volunteers provide time, talent, knowledge and enthusiasm, which is added to that of the City Council and staff. The majority of the City’s Commissions, Boards and Committees operate in an advisory capacity to the City Council and are made up of a set number of members with at least one staff liaison. Each CBC reviews, discusses and makes recommendations to City Council on a variety of issues associated with its function. Recommendations from CBCs are forwarded to the City Council which has the final decision-making responsibility. The City Council carefully weighs CBC recommendations, with citizen, business owner, staff, and other interested party comments, to arrive at a decision which Council believes is in the overall best interest of the City. Any interested Lone Tree resident may apply by submitting an application, resume, and a brief letter of interest to: Jennifer Pettinger, City Clerk, by Tuesday, September 30, 2014 at 5:00 p.m. Interviews are slated to be conducted in October with appointments in December.
