Boards and Commissions

In addition to the thirteen departments that make up the City of Durango government, there are seventeen boards and commissions that help to set policies and provide services within the City of Durango. These boards, which are composed primarily of community members, not only give private citizens the ability to participate in civic action, but also give voice to specific issues that may not otherwise receive proper attention.

Approximately 100 volunteers serve on the City's boards or commissions that have been created either by City regulations, Council Resolution or Council Ordinance. The responsibilities, powers, membership size, and meeting schedule vary for each board and commission.

The City Council continuously seeks nominations of citizens interested in serving on a board. When vacancies occur, they are advertised in the local newspaper, on this web site, and on Government Access Television City Span 10.

For more information about joining a particular board or commission, or for a complete listing of the boards and commissions in the City of Durango, stop by the City Manager's offices located at 949 E. 2nd Avenue during normal business hours Monday through Friday, or call them at 375-5005.
