Council-appointed citizen advisory committees, commissions or boards which advise Council on a wide variety of subjects need volunteers. Here is a link to the Committees of Council so you can see the various committees that bring expertise in our community to Council to assist in their decision making. If you are interested in applying to be a representative of one of these committees look for the notice in the fall of each year when positions become available and the City recruits new members. These openings are also posted on the City's social media channels.
