City Manager's Weekly Update

Week Ending March 15, 2019

Did you know that the City has nearly 10 Board and Commissions, all of which provide policy advice to the City Council? City Boards/Commissions are comprised of volunteers - your friends and neighbors that work together to help guide important community decisions.

Elizabeth Andrew said that "Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart." If you have heart (and a little bit of time), we would love for you to consider serving on an advisory board. Check out our Boards and Commissions web page and give it some thought!
