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 a council interview during a work session meeting. Appointments are unpaid and serve a fixed term (terms vary by board and commission).
There will be vacancies on the following boards:
- Board of Adjustment
- Construction Board of Appeals
- Health and Human Services
- Industrial Development Authority
- Library Board
- Municipal Property Corp.
- Parks and Recreation Commission
- Planning and Zoning Commission
- Public Art Commission
- Public Safety Personnel Retirement Board
- Superstition Mountains Community Facilities District (sewer board)
All appointments require residency within the city of Apache Junction with the exception of the Construction Code Board of Appeals, the Health and Human Services Commission, some positions on the Public Art Commission and the Superstition Mountains Community Facilities District board.
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 submitted online at www.apachejunctionaz.gov/boards. Additional information on the city’s boards and commissions is also available online. For those who do not have access to a computer, applications can be submitted online using a public computer available at the Apache Junction Public Library, 1177 N. Idaho Rd. Candidates are scheduled to be interviewed and appointed at council meetings in October. For additional information or assistance, please contact the city clerk’s office at (480) 474-5070. Applications will be available on Aug. 8.
