Boulder Town is seeking applicants to fill the current vacancy on the Planning Commission.

Responsibilities include: managing town council affairs (acting as Election Officer and overseeing contracts); handling all financial disbursements, processing invoices, and executing payroll; maintaining and managing accurate records, including GRAMA compliance; assisting with budget preparation and overseeing annual audits; and providing administrative support, such as coordinating meetings, preparing agendas/minutes, and managing the town website and emails.

  • Attend and actively participate in regular monthly meetings, as well as additional work meetings or training sessions as required.
  • Collaborate with fellow Commissioners to arrive at fact-based, reasoned, and researched decisions on land-use matters:
    • Conditional Use Permit applications.

  • Maintain the technical skills necessary for the position, including:
    • The ability to send/receive email and manage file attachments.
    • Competence in using the internet and locating information within Boulder’s codified ordinances.
    • The capability to connect to virtual meetings.
  • Occasional travel to training or conferences may be offered to assist with professional development in compliance with LUDMA, though this is optional.
