Commission/Board Facts

  • Commissioners and Boardmembers are volunteer positions and will serve without compensation.
  • With staff liaison approval, Commissioners and Boardmembers may be reimbursed for their reasonable and necessary costs and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of their duties.
  • Elected officials are not eligible to serve on any Commission or Board.
  • It is customary for Commissioners and Boardmembers to serve on one Commission at a time.

Members shall be qualified by "experience and training" (per Resolution No. 5702).
