The Arapahoe County Board of County Commissioners has openings on the Cultural Council and is seeking applications from residents who are interested in helping their community. There are two openings for an Aurora representative, one opening for a Centennial representative and one opening for an Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan representative. Qualified applicants must be residents of Arapahoe County and must reside in one of these areas to apply for these positions.

The Cultural Council considers which nonprofit organizations and government entities in the county will receive its share of money from the metro-wide Scientific and Cultural Facilities District sales tax.

The application deadline is Sept. 4, 2009. Interested residents can apply online. To fill out an online application, visit the County's web site at www.co.arapahoe.co.us and click on online tools. Applications also are available at the Commissioners' Office in the County Administration Building, 5334 S. Prince St., Fourth Floor, Littleton.

For more information on a particular board or to request an application by mail, call Carol Dosmann at the Commissioners' Office at 303-795-4531.
