City Commissions are made up of residents who have applied and been appointed by the city council. These groups provide additional perspectives on city issues and advise the city council on issues relevant to their commissions. All meetings are open to the public. Agendas are posted in the Agenda Center of the City website.
Applications for open seats on city commissions are accepted annually, reviewed and interviewed by the city council and appointed at beginning of the new year.
