Public involvement is crucial to the City’s decision-making process and in order to draw on the wealth of skills, experience, and interest within our community, the City Council utilizes a number of appointed Commissions. By advising the City Council and staff, bringing new ideas to the table, and representing all of the diverse elements of our community, members of our Commissions help the City Council to make the best, most informed decisions possible. The office of the City Clerk maintains a current list of City Commissioners, the current seats available, and upcoming meeting dates and times. The Clerk also coordinates all appointments to these positions. By December 31 of each year, the following year’s vacancies are posted at City Hall and in the office of the City Clerk.
