Recruiting for: Resident of Eastern Boulder County

Deadline to apply: Thursday, July 31

Help improve emergency response, fire protection, and trail/recreation safety in Boulder County!

Boulder County is recruiting for an open position on the Emergency Services Grant Program Advisory Committee.

We are most in need of applications for a Boulder County resident who is served by a rural fire district or fire department in the eastern part of Boulder County (generally, the areas east of Foothills Highway (US 36) or US 93/Broadway).

The position will serve a three-year term.

The Emergency Services Sales & Use Tax was approved by voters as County Issue 1B in 2022. Revenues from the tax are used to help provide financial assistance to underfunded or under-resourced organizations providing emergency services—such as firefighting or search and rescue—in the rural and mountain areas of Boulder County.

Emergency Services Advisory Committee

The nine-member committee gives input twice a year to the Boulder County Sheriff's Office and the Board of County Commissioners on how the grant revenues should be spent.

In addition to recruiting members with hands-on emergency services and search & rescue response, the county is seeking the perspective of trail users, members of the accessibility community, and outdoor recreation enthusiasts.

We strive for a diverse and inclusive committee that welcomes and encourages all community points of view!

Time Commitment

The committee generally meets the fourth Tuesday of the month (virtually, on Zoom) from 6-8 p.m. during the winter, spring, and fall months. (The committee typically goes on recess during the summer months.)

Additional meetings are scheduled twice a year to review grant applications and make recommendations Boulder County. Occasionally, the committee meets in person (in Boulder).

A commitment of eight to ten hours twice a year is anticipated for the two rounds of grant awards.
