Supporting Committees

   The Board of Trustees and Calhan municipal government could not function as efficiently without the assistance of committees comprised of a combination of Trustees, Town employees, and private citizens who so generously give of their time and effort.  Calhan citizens are encouraged to volunteer for these committees.  Three important standing committees are the Parks Committee, Cemetery Committee, and Planning & Development Committee.
