Commissions, Boards and Committees - CURRENT OPENINGS

Position Objectives:

The City Council of the City of Pine City is seeking citizens with diverse backgrounds and experiences to play a crucial role in public policy development, implementation, and review for the City Council.  Serving in an advisory capacity on a City of Pine City commission, board, or committee is one of the most effective ways for citizens to influence City policies and activities. Volunteering provides an opportunity for citizen participation in the process of government. Being a committee member also serves as a training ground for citizens to learn and increase their knowledge and skills by working with a variety of people on issues that might not otherwise be a part of their private lives.

Minimum Requirements:

To be considered for an appointment, volunteers should have an honest interest in the subject matter and want to have a positive impact in their community. Volunteers should also be willing to meet regularly (usually monthly) with the committee. Residency in the City of Pine City is preferred, and may be required.
