The City of Springfield is seeking applicants for the Spring Forward SGF Citizens’ Advisory Board (CAB), a group convened to review and make recommendations for the use of the half-cent portion of a ¾-cent sales tax, referred to as Spring Forward SGF, passed in 2024. Investments from this voter-approved tax are designated for transformative capital improvement projects, community and neighborhood initiatives, and park projects.
Apply now at https://www.springfieldmo.gov/FormCenter/Boards-Commissions-5/Board-Application-Form-71. Applications must be received by 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 10.
Membership will be fixed at nine members, consistent with City Charter requirements. All members must be Springfield residents who have lived within the city limits for at least two years, be registered voters, and comply with all other requirements.
Currently the CAB has four open positions. City Council will be considering applications for those four positions along with one position for possible re-appointment.
For questions about the application process, please contact City Clerk Anita J. Cotter at [email protected] or 417-864-1651.
Applications will be reviewed by City Council's Committee of the Whole and recommendations for appointment will be forwarded to the full City Council for approval.
