“Public members on our boards, committees and commissions play a meaningful role in how decisions are made at the City,” said Mayor, Jackie Clayton. “They take the time to review information, consider different perspectives and provide recommendations that help Council make informed decisions. We truly value the time and commitment these members bring to the process, and I encourage residents who are interested in serving their community in this way to consider applying.”
Members who sit on these boards will provide advice and make recommendations to help with City Council decisions.
