Government
Aspen
The Aspen City Council provides leadership, stewardship and service to the town. Through an open and friendly process, the Council works in partnership with residents to supply services not provided by the private sector in order to meet their day-to-day needs, to preserve and enhance community character, and to further the Aspen Dream: the ideal of a community nourishing the mind, body and spirit of its citizens.
The City Council Budget is used to account for all of the direct expenses of the Mayor and the City Council and to fund special projects originating from City Council.
The Council meets the 2nd and fourth Mondays each month in City Hall at 5:00 p.m.
The Community Development Department includes the Planning, Zoning, Historic Preservation, Environmental Health, Development Review, and Building Divisions. All building permits, sign permits, historic property review, land use approvals, zoning review and enforcement, site development review, long range planning, restaurant inspections and community health issues are handled by the Community Development Department.
The Aspen Environmental Health Department monitors air and water quality; inspects restaurants, groceries, and daycare centers; and ensures compliance with the City's wildlife protection ordinance.
