The City of Moab is now accepting applications to fill open seats on the Moab City Planning Commission and the Moab Water Conservation and Drought Management Advisory Board. Members of the planning commission must be residents of Moab City.
The planning commission typically meets on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. The commission is a volunteer board, with members appointed by the mayor of Moab. The board acts in an advisory capacity for most city land-use decisions. Planning commission members receive a $50 stipend for each meeting they attend.
The Water Conservation and Drought Management Advisory Board is a volunteer group that advises the city’s leadership on matters related to water conservation, including public education, city initiatives, capital improvements, grants, policy and code revisions.
