Lewis and Clark County Seeks Residents to Fill Multiple Board Vacancies

The Lewis and Clark County Commission put out a call this week for residents willing to serve on county boards and advisory bodies, posting vacancies across 16 bodies that touch nearly every corner of local governance.

The March 13 announcement spans a wide range of civic functions. Cemetery maintenance districts in Augusta and Lincoln are recruiting, as are solid waste districts serving Augusta and the Scratchgravel area north of Helena. The City-County Library Board and the Fair Board sit alongside more regulatory bodies like the Board of Adjustment and the Planning and Zoning Committee. The Forestvale Historic Preservation Committee, which oversees one of Helena's oldest cemeteries, has an opening, as does the Open Lands Citizens Advisory Committee, a body that advises on conservation and public land decisions in the county.

Residents interested in public health and safety work can apply to the Human Services Task Force or the Lewis and Clark County DUI Task Force. The Investment Committee and the Compensation Board round out the roster, offering opportunities in financial oversight. Communities outside Helena are also represented: the Noxious Weed Board has openings specifically tied to the Augusta and Wolf Creek areas, and the Lincoln Parks Board is seeking applicants as well.

No application deadline applies to any of the positions. The Commission's announcement states all posts are open until filled.

Applications can be submitted to the Commissioner's Office at 316 N. Park Ave., Room 345, Helena, MT 59623, or requested by calling 447-8378. The source notice did not include a complete phone area code or an application download link, so prospective applicants should confirm those details directly with the Commissioner's Office when reaching out.
