City Council Appointments

Mayor McLean is accepting applications from candidates interested in being considered for an appointment to fill out the term of the council seat soon to be vacated by Council President Holli Woodings. Candidates with a passion for Boise, a strong record of civic engagement and a willingness to serve are encouraged to apply.

Apply for Consideration

Those interested in being considered for one of the seats must submit the following information to citycouncilappointment@cityofboise.org:

  • Applicant’s legal name

  • Letter of interest outlining the perspective the applicant would bring to the council, the reasons for wanting to serve the public, and the impact they hope to make as a Boise city council member
  • Current resume outlining both professional and civic experience
  • Contact information for three (3) references who are prepared to speak to the candidate’s perspective and/or experience

Application information must be submitted directly by the applicant, preferably in a single PDF document. Applicants who have previously applied may send an email indicating their interest in this vacancy and their previous materials will be considered a complete application. Interest expressed or information provided outside of this process will not be considered a formal application. Candidate applications are subject to the public records act.
