Such issues include General Plan updates, building design, signs, parks, recreation, trees, streets, traffic regulations, public utilities, ethics, and the City Budget.

Members serve four-year terms and are eligible for consideration for reappointment for an additional four-year term. Applications are being accepted through November 15, 2021. Openings include:

• Commission on Aging (Wards 2, 3, 5 and 7)

“The Mayor and City Council members value the input from our community volunteers,” City Clerk Donesia Gause said. “Serving on a Board or Commission creates a vital link between the city meeting the needs of the Community.”
