Boards & Commissions Vacancies List

While the annual recruitment cycle has a focused call for applications during January of each year, applications are accepted year-round. Unexpected vacancies arise on occasion throughout the year, and applications on file are reviewed to see if a suitable replacement can be identified without conducting a special recruitment. The list below shows current vacancies on City boards or commissions. The number following the name of the board or commission indicates the number of vacancies and the number in parentheses denotes those incumbents who may be reappointed.
