How do I become a member of a board or commission?

Opportunities to serve on a board or commission are advertised in local newspapers and on the City's website. Individuals interested in serving on a City board or commission must fill out a "Willing to Serve Form" and submit it to the City Clerk's Office. 


  • Planning Commission 
  • Parks and Recreation Commission
  • Main Street Bridge Advisory Commission
  • General Plan Advisory Committee
  • Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commitee


Willing to serve forms are kept on file in the City Clerk's Office for a period of two years.


The City Council, either individually or as a group, will interview interested individuals or make appointments to boards and commissions. View the

Willing to Serve Form (PDF).
