Localsim Committee Application: Deadline: October 16, 2023 

Regular Meeting Times: Third Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. It is anticipated that there will be approximately 3 to 4 meetings resulting in a final report and recommendation to the City Council by January 2024.

Purpose:

This committee will review the possible creation of a new City Board, the “Localism” Board. This Board, if created, would replace the Downtown Advisory Board (DAB). This committee would identify how a localism board would operate including goals and priorities. The idea for a localism board stemmed from the concept of having a board that acts as an extension of the City of Fruita's communication efforts and to further reach residents and increase the number of residents engaging in the community. 

To be considered for the committee, applicants must meet one of the following criteria: Be a Fruita resident, own a business in Fruita, or have a vested interest in the Fruita community.
