Boards And Commissions
Do you have ideas for strengthening our city? Would you like to get involved in planning, development, and decision-making? Consider applying for a City board or commission!
Although not a requirement, potential applicants are encouraged to attend at least one meeting of the board/commission they are interested in. Applications are considered on a quarterly basis (expect about a two-month process). If you have questions about the application process, please reach out to the City Clerk’s Office.
