Board and Commission Openings
Update as of December 15: Applications are still being accepted for the three open seats on the Board of Zoning Appeals. Apply today! (See instructions at the bottom of this post.)
=======================
Applications are being accepted through Wednesday, December 7 from persons interested in filling vacancies on several area boards and commissions. Many important city policies and projects are designed and managed not by the mayor and council but by the city’s boards and commissions. Citizen volunteers who serve on these bodies play a vital role in city governance. Maybe you’d like to get involved!

Board of IPMC Appeals
