Commissions

Joining a commission is a great way to get involved with your community. At the end of each year, the City Clerk prepares and posts a list of expiring appointed terms for the coming year, the names of incumbents, and the dates of their appointment. The following is a list for 2021:

Human Relations Commission meetings are held at City Hall on the fourth Wednesday of every month at 7:00 p.m.
