Are you interested in providing citizen input into the strategic direction setting of the municipality?  If so, you should consider joining a Committee or Board for the Town of Cobourg!  Below you will also find our current list of Committees and Boards that provide direct links to their webpages.

The Town of Cobourg typically recruits for Advisory Committee and Local Board members on two (2) specific occasions:

  1. Immediately after a Municipal Election; and
  2. As vacancies occur throughout the year.


Current Advisory Committees, Local Boards and/or Ad Hoc Committees


 

For information on how to apply to the Advisory Committees please refer to the Application Process below. 

Application Process

Eligibility

To be eligible to serve on an Advisory Committee or Local Board: 
  • You must reside in the municipality, or be an owner/tenant of land (or spouse of same) for the duration of your term
  • At minimum, you must be 18 years of age, unless otherwise specified in the Committee or Board’s Terms of Reference
  • You are not employed by the Town of Cobourg

In addition to the general eligibility requirements listed above, specific skills and/or experiences required for membership on each Advisory Committee or Local Board shall be established by way of Terms of Reference approved by Council.  Bylaw 008-2019 currently establishes the Town of Cobourg Composition and Terms of Reference for Advisory Committees, Local Boards and Internal Working Groups.

How to Apply

To apply to become a member of an Advisory Committee or Local Board:

  • Please view vacancies above and select 'Apply' to submit an application form.

If you are unable to complete the application form for reason of disability, accessible and alternate formats are available at the request of the Municipal Clerk’s Office and special provision by the Municipal Clerk may be made as a result for those individuals requesting an alternative format when submitting an application.

Selection Process

All appointments are made by Council.  Copies of all applications will be made available to Council for consideration.  Council will appoint qualified applicants to vacancies based on the information submitted in and attached to the application form.  Appointments to Advisory Committees or Local Boards may take up to eight (8) weeks after the deadline date to be fully processed and filled.  After appointments are finalized by Council resolution, the Municipal Clerk will notify all applicants, informing them of the Council’s decision. 

Term of Appointments

Unless otherwise legislated, the term of appointment to an Advisory Committee, Quasi-Judicial Committee or Local Board, by way of Council resolution, shall be a four (4) year term which coincides with the existing term of Council who appointed them.

The maximum length of service to an Advisory Committee or Local Board shall be no longer than six (6) consecutive years on a singular Committee or Board.  Applicants may reapply to a Committee or Board in which they have served six (6) consecutive years only after an absence of one (1) year.  During this time, applicants are still eligible to apply to an alternative Town of Cobourg Committee or Board.

In order to maintain long-standing, contributing members, an Advisory Committee member may ask Council for an exemption to the one (1) year mandated absence. 

Authority

Town of Cobourg's Advisory Committees and Local Boards are governed by our Terms of Reference and Procedural Bylaws, and our Advisory Committee Policy and Procedures.
