Julie Reichle

Mayor Betsy Smegal Andersen recognizes Dick Carter in April 2025 for his volunteer service on the Recreation Commission.

Applications are now open for appointed volunteer positions on the Budget Advisory and Financial Planning Committee, Recreation Commission, and as the City’s representative to the Mosquito Abatement District Board of Trustees.

Serving in these volunteer positions is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the inner workings of City government. As a Commissioner, you’d help shape City programs, policies and services by providing a valuable resident perspective on upcoming and proposed projects. Learn more about the work Commissioners do by watching past meetings on the City’s online video archive.
