Appointment Process
Terms
The board and commission appointment process normally begins in October with the notification of current board members whose terms are expiring and advertising for new applicants. The City Council conducts interviews in October or November, with appointments being made in December. The appointed board members will begin their term at the first scheduled meeting following their appointment. Board member terms are generally staggered for 2 years, unless members are filling an unexpired term, or at the desire of council.
Applications
Applications are accepted year-round, but applicants are encouraged to submit applications for the current appointment process prior to October 1. Applications are kept on file in the City Secretary's Office for one year and may be submitted throughout the year to fill vacancies that may occur. Submit applications to:
