Scottsdale residents invited to apply for advisory boards
The Scottsdale City Council invites Scottsdale residents to apply for volunteer positions opening this winter on several boards and commissions.
Openings will occur on the Airport Advisory Board, Board of Adjustment, Development Review Board, Housing Board, Human Services Commission, Judicial Appointments Advisory Board, Library Board, Loss Trust Fund Board, Personnel Board, Planning Commission, Scottsdale Pride Commission and Transportation Commission.
Applications should be submitted by Friday, May 23, to give Council members adequate time for review.
The Council will nominate from the applicant pool on June 17. Those nominated will be interviewed on June 24. Following the interviews, the Council will appoint residents to three-year terms.
Current members who have completed a first term are eligible for reappointment for a second term.
A complete listing of vacancies and an application form are available on the city’s Web site at www.ScottsdaleAZ.gov. Follow links for “Mayor, Council and Government” and “Boards and Commissions.”
The application form, which is valid for one year, can also be emailed to interested residents who call the City Clerk's office at (480) 312-2412, or may be picked up in the City Clerk's office in City Hall, 3939 N. Drinkwater Blvd.
All board and commission members need to comply with the City's Ethics Code. More information on the Code is also available on the City's Web site.
