The City of Flagstaff Needs Volunteers for Boards & Commissions
The City Council uses every opportunity to establish community participation programs to allow for citizen involvement and input. Boards, commissions, and committees are created to allow Flagstaff citizens to take an active role in City government. The members of the City's boards and commissions, and most committee members, are appointed by the City Council to three-year terms, unless a different term length is set by law.
All City board and commission members must be residents of Flagstaff at the time of their appointment and for the full duration of their term in office (with the exception of the Youth Commission). Appointments are approved at public meetings and individuals are selected solely at the discretion of the City Council. If you are interested in serving on a City board or commission, please go to the City Clerk's Office page on the City website: www.flagstaff.az.gov to obtain an application form, or call 779-7607.
Please check out the list of boards and commissions and what they do. A more detailed list of responsibilities can be found on the City’s web pages. Many currently have vacancies! We need YOU!!!!!!
