A Message from the Board of Douglas County Commissioners:
Please accept our sincere thanks for your interest in an appointment to a Douglas County Board, Committee or Commission. Our Boards, Committees and Commissions are designed to help us do our job representing the citizens and taxpayers of Douglas County. This means that as a volunteer appointee you would assist the Board of County Commissioners by preparing policy alternatives and implications for our deliberation and conducting statutorily required actions.
To ensure the effectiveness of our Boards, Committees and Commissions, all have clear and specific goals, objectives and timelines, for example:
- All members of a Board, Committee and Commission are required to follow applicable ethics laws, Board policies and Boards and Commissions' Code of Conduct (see this referenced document attached below);
- An individual may not serve on more than one Board, Committee or Commission at a time;
- The terms of office of appointed members of Boards, Committees and Commissions are generally not more than two terms unless otherwise indicated by statute or authorizing resolution; and
- Members of Boards, Committees and Commissions are expected to attend no less than 75% of all regularly scheduled and special meetings during the year.
Serving as a Board, Committee or Commission appointee is one of the best ways to engage in the process of governing your community. We, in turn, benefit from our citizens' expertise and experience.
Thank you once again for your interest. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Jack A. Hilbert, Jill E. Repella, and Steven A. Boand
