The Town of Fountain Hills is accepting applications for those interested in filling a vacancy on the Planning and Zoning Commission.

It was announced last week that Commissioner Richard Turner had tendered his resignation to accept a job out of state, creating an immediate vacancy.

Any resident who has lived in Fountain Hills for at least one year is eligible and those with an interest in serving may submit an application. The commission has regularly scheduled meetings on the second and fourth Thursday of each month at 6:30 pm.

Service on the commission is strictly voluntary.

The application requirements and forms may be downloaded from the town’s website or picked up at the Town Hall administration reception desk on the second floor during normal business hours, Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

To download from the website go to www.fh.az.gov click on “services and forms” then “forms library” and print the “Planning and Zoning Commission application packet.”

The completed application packet should include a cover letter of interest, a resume, completed background and personal data outline and a signed consent to executive session (for interview).

Completed application forms should be labeled “Planning and Zoning Commission Application” and may be hand delivered to the administration reception desk at Town Hall or mailed to 16705 E. Avenue of the Fountains, Fountain Hills, AZ 85268, attention Janice Baxter.
