Planning Commission Vacancy

The Board of County Commissioners is accepting letters of interest from citizens of Fremont County wishing to serve on the Fremont County Planning Commission.

The Commission meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. to review land use proposals, such as subdivisions, zone changes and use permits and make recommendations to the County Commissioners who render a final decision on land use proposals. The Planning Commission is also responsible for updating the Master Plan, a county-wide guideline for reviewing land use proposals.

The Planning Commission appointment is for a three year term for a seat currently held by Keith McNew of Coaldale. All persons are welcome to apply but letters of interest are particularly encouraged from western Fremont County residents. Interested persons should submit a letter stating their qualifications and reasons for wanting to serve by mail or in person to the County Commissioners at 615 Macon Avenue - Room 105, Canon City, Colorado 81212, or by facsimile at (719) 276-7304. The deadline for letters is 4:30 p.m., Friday, August 3rd, 2007.
