Join the Pleasant View Metro District Board!
Qualifications, how to apply and more information
As you may have read in my previous newsletter, there are two vacancies on the Pleasant View Metro District board. The district is governed by a five-member board of directors. There are two director positions currently open and we’re looking for engaged community members to help fill them!
Board Member Qualifications
To qualify, you must:
Live or own property in Pleasant View
Be registered to vote in Colorado
We are especially interested in board members who have professional experience in finance, accounting, or economics. Experience with public outreach, local government, or public parks is preferred but not required. If you are excited to be involved in improving your community, please apply regardless of professional experience!
Length of Commitment
Board members serve four year terms. However, the people who fill these vacancies will be up for election in May 2027. This is because vacancies are filled without a vote of the people. The current board of directors will appoint new board members by majority vote at the March 31 board meeting.
How to Apply for the Board
Submit a brief (one page or less) Letter of Intent to Fire Chief Chris Malmgren at cmalmgren@pleasantviewfire.com.
The Letter of Intent should include:
A brief introduction of who you are
Why you want to be on the board
What makes you a good candidate
Email your letter by March 24, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. local time to cmalmgren@pleasantviewfire.com.
Letters will be forwarded to the current board of directors review. Candidates will be chosen at the March 31 board meeting by a majority vote of the current board of directors.
District Manager Vacancy
Another pressing issue is the vacancy of district manager. The public doesn’t have anyone to reach out to, we don’t have anyone managing field and facility rentals, and the fire chief is paying bills and doing payroll on top of his full-time duties as chief.
I say all of this to reiterate that I realize how urgent of an issue it is to fill this position. At the March 3 special board meeting, we appointed a two-person committee to make faster progress on this.
Unfortunately, the district lawyer has advised us that board members cannot fulfill the duties of district manager even as volunteers. But I do hear your concerns and want to get temporary, part-time help to address these gaps ASAP.
Myself and one other board member are working with the fire chief to fill this position as quickly as possible. We both work full-time and have kids but we are doing our best, I promise! Please continue to let me know your questions and concerns. I’ll keep you updated!
