City Council

The City of Walsenburg is divided into four wards with two council members elected from each ward. Together, these eight council members and the Mayor, elected at-large, make up the nine-member City Council.

Larry Patrick - Mayor


I was elected Mayor of Walsenburg in November of 2011. My biggest concern is providing business growth & jobs while helping to clean up the City. While a city councilman for 4 years, I received a lot of experience in city government. A career in broadcasting for 35 years plus my work with the Huerfano World Journal the past 4 years has given me many years of experience as a journalist covering local meetings & events while having the opportunity to be a community leader with civic organizations the past 40 years.

I’m happily married to my wife, Terri & have 2 step-sons at home & step-daughter in college. I also have three grown children and 4 grandchildren that I am very proud of. I am a veteran having served during the Vietnam War. My business background in owning & managing radio stations has given me the confidence and ability to work with this city council & administration in moving Walsenburg in a positive way forward.

 

Jim Moore - Council Member, Ward 1 - four year term


With appointment to our council in 2009, it is an honour to offer both experience and background to support our local government. Previously the Office Manager for the City of Aguilar, I learned valuable municipal management experience, and earned commendations on critical operations achievements. I also worked previously to assist our city on important project development, and gained a wealth of knowledge over issues that still require a great deal of work to accomplish.

As a homeowner since 1997, the economic stability and quality of of life in our community remains my concern. I dedicate my service to our city staff and all residents who depend on the future of Walsenburg.
