At meetings of the Arvada City Council (held on Mondays), councilmembers hear public comment about and discuss and vote on a variety of resolutions and ordinances that set the strategic and policy direction of the City and affect the lives of Arvada residents. City councilmembers want your input. You can attend a public hearing to share your views, or participate in the Open Comment portion of Council meetings on items not otherwise on the agenda. For more information about engaging with City Council, visit the About City Council Meetings webpage.
The City relies on volunteers to help make the organization successful. Volunteers serve as ambassadors at the Arvada Reservoir, in our parks and at Majestic View Nature Center. They serve on boards and commissions. Volunteers help keep our streets and trails clean. And our public safety volunteers support the Police Department by helping with administrative functions and other day-to-day operations. Volunteering for the City is a great way to participate in local government and give back to your community. For more information on volunteer opportunities, visit Volunteer Opportunities page.
The City team regularly hosts community meetings and open houses across the city to inform the community about various projects and often to solicit resident input to help improve the project. The City regularly advertises public meetings on social media, in the Arvada Report and the ArvadaNews.
The Arvada City Council relies on community volunteers to study special community issues, obtain public comment on key projects, and offer recommendations on matters that affect the quality of life in Arvada. These groups are part of the community's voice, influencing public policy and decisions that affect the entire city. For more about boards and commissions, visit Boards, Commissions, and Committees page.
