How to Apply for Boards & Commissions

The application period for all boards & commissions vacancies has closed. As new vacancies open, we will post them here.

Golden City HallThe Golden City Council encourages citizen participation in municipal government and welcomes your interest in serving on a city board, commission, or committee. Citizens who serve on boards and commissions help shape initiatives for the City and build a great place for people to live and visit.

Appointments to city boards and commissions are made by the Mayor, with a majority vote of council, following interviews. Terms on the boards and commissions all expire in April at the end of the appointed term.

Boards and Commissions generally require that members be a resident of the City of Golden. If you are uncertain whether or not your address is within city limits or a part of unincorporated Jefferson County (mailing address is not a good indicator) please check the Jefferson County Address Wizard. The information will be under ‘Municipal Status.’

For questions, contact the City Clerk’s office at 303-384-8014, 303-384-8015, or clerks@cityofgolden.net.
