The El Paso County Board of County Commissioners has created a new avenue for citizens to participate in county government with the formation of an advisory committee: the Citizen Outreach Group.The new volunteer committee will be comprised of nine citizen members appointed by the board. Five of the members will represent each of the commissioner districts, and four will be at-large members. There also will be two non-voting alternate positions.The board chairman, vice chair, county administrator and the liaison to the county’s public information office will have the option to serve as ex officio members.The goals of this committee will be advising the commissioners on issues that are important to the individual district and community and receiving updates from the county.Citizens interested in serving should contact Fran St. Germaine at 520-6436.
