City of Apache Junction Accepting Applications for Board & Commission Vacancies
Citizens who want to be more involved and contribute to the community are sought for board and commission positions.
The city of Apache Junction is seeking applicants for various boards and commissions. Serving on a board or commission provides an opportunity to work closely with other citizens and the city council to help make decisions about the future of the city. Board and commission members are appointed by council after submission of an application and council interview during a work session meeting. Appointments are unpaid and serve a fixed term (terms vary by board and commission).
The following is a list of current vacancies:
- Board of Adjustment – three positions
- Construction Code Board of Appeals – four positions
- Health and Human Services Commission – two positions
- Industrial Development Authority – four positions
- Library Board – two positions
- Municipal Property Corporation Board – two positions
- Parks and Recreation Commission – two positions
- Planning and Zoning Commission – three positions
- Public Safety Personnel Retirement Board – one position
All appointments require residency within the city of Apache Junction with the exception of the Construction Code Board of Appeals and the Health and Human Services Commission. While it is helpful if you have some experience or knowledge about the board or commission on which you wish to serve, the desire to contribute your talents, ideas and opinions to enhance the community is most important. Time commitments vary based on the specific appointment; some meet monthly while others meet on an as needed basis.
Applications must be received by the City Clerk’s office by Thursday, August 28. Candidates will be interviewed at an October work session meeting. Applications and additional information is available online at www.ajcity.net/boards. Applications are also available at the City Clerk’s office, located at 300 E.
