  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, Building Advisory Board of Appeals, Development Review Board, Environmental Quality Advisory Board, Historic Preservation Commission, Housing Board, Human Relations Commission, Library Board, Loss Trust Fund Board, McDowell Sonoran Preserve Commission, Planning Commission, Public Safety Personnel Retirement Board, Scottsdale Pride Commission, Transportation Commission and Tourism Development Commission.

Applications should be submitted by Monday, Jan. 5, to give Council members adequate time for review.

The Council will nominate from the applicant pool on Jan. 20. Those nominated will be interviewed on Feb. 17. 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.
