The Arcadia City Clerk’s Office is accepting applications from residents who would like to serve on a City Board or Commission — openings will be available for the Arcadia Beautiful Commission; Arcadia Museum Commission; Human Resources Commission; Library Board of Trustees; Planning Commission; Recreation and Parks Commission; and Senior Citizens’ Commission.
Applications must be submitted to the City Clerk’s office on or before the close of business on Monday, May 23, 2016. Appointments are expected to be made at the Tuesday, June 21, 2016, City Council meeting.
To serve on a City Board or Commission, candidates must be at least 18 years of age, a registered voter and resident of the City of Arcadia. All City Board and Commission members serve without financial compensation. Arcadia’s Commission members serve in an advisory capacity and provide critical input on quality of life issues in Arcadia. Members of the Arcadia Library Board of Trustees, who serve four-year terms, have additional responsibilities, including the hiring of the Director of Library and Museum Services when that position opens up. The current director, Mary Beth Hayes, is expected to retire by the end of 2016, meaning a newly-appointed Board member would be expected to participate in the selection of a new Director.
Anyone with an interest in serving may pick up an application from the City Clerk’s Office, City Hall, 240 W. Huntington Drive or print one off of the City’s website at www.ArcadiaCa.gov.
Please contact the City Clerk’s Office at (626) 574-5455 if you would like additional information about Board and Commission service in the City of Arcadia.
