Local Appointments List
Government Code Section 54972, also known as the Maddy Act, requires that each legislative body, on or before December 31 of each year, shall prepare an appointments list of all regular and ongoing boards, commission and committees, which are appointed by the legislative body of the local agency.
Commissions, Boards, and Committees
Advisory bodies play an important role in City governance by assisting the Mayor and City Council in addressing specific issues in detail, lending professional expertise, facilitating community decision-making, and serving as a primary conduit between citizens, City staff and departments, and the City Council.
Appointments are made to various Commissions, Boards, and Committees for terms that generally expire every two even numbered years, coinciding with the General Municipal Election cycle. Appointments are also made to fill unscheduled vacancies as needed. To view current vacancy notices, please visit the Public Notices page. Applications are accepted year-round, not just during recruitment for new terms or vacancies.
