The Board of Pueblo County Commissioners is seeking interested volunteers to serve on the Pueblo Conservancy District Board.
The Pueblo Conservancy District was formed per the Conservancy Law of Colorado (Title 37, Article 1, CRS) to reduce flood risk, conserve or develop water resources, or participate in the development of parks or recreational facilities. The Pueblo Conservancy District may spend district revenues, including from its construction and maintenance funds, for the following purposes, in the following order of priority: First for the maintenance, repair, replacement, or improvement of the district's existing flood control levees; Second, for flood mitigation projects located in whole or part within the district, whether capital or otherwise, in the affected watershed upstream of the district's existing flood control levees; and Third, for flood mitigation projects located in whole or part within the district, whether capital or otherwise, in the affected watershed downstream of the district's existing flood control levees. In addition to protecting the land from flooding, the District can participate in the development of parks and recreational facilities, trails, greenways and riverfronts and can participate in artistic and beautification projects of waterways within the boundaries of the District.
The Conservancy District Board meets on the fourth Wednesday of each month, except in November and December when it meets on the third Wednesday.
Applicants must reside within those portions of Pueblo County not located within the City of Pueblo. Applications will be accepted through Wednesday, December 31, 2025. To apply, please go to https://county.pueblo.org/boards-and-commissions-department/boards-and-commissions.
