The Laveen Village Planning Committee generally meets the 2nd Monday of the month at 6:30 p.m. at the Laveen Elementary School District #59, Laveen Education Center, 5001 West Dobbins Road.

No more than 17 members nominated and appointed by the Mayor and City Council who must live or work within the village boundaries. Composition is as follows: District 7 - 6 members, Distirct 8 - 9 members, and Mayor - 2 members. Committee residency requirements state at least 75% of the members shall reside at least eleven months of the year at a property of record or location within the village. Up to 25% of the members may be individuals who work at a business in the village on a full-time basis, but live outside the village or outside of the City of Phoenix. The Laveen Village contains areas that remain largely unpopulated or contain large county islands. An exception can be made such that the Village Planning Committee may include residents of nearby villages or people who work in the village until a population threshold of 50,000 is met. For this body, quorum (the number of members required to discuss and act on agenda items) is based on a majority of the current membership.
