The City’s two commissions are important parts of the government, and can be extremely helpful in improving our quality of life. Equally, when they make decisions that turn out to be counter-productive, all of us are impacted.

If you believe you are qualified to apply for these positions and if you feel your background and experience will help make the City a better place to live, please take the time to apply.
