City Council Members or other qualified individuals may apply for appointment by E-mailing [email protected] with a notice of candidacy.

Notices of candidacy and resumes or candidate statements should be submitted to the Secretary at least 14 days prior to the meeting at which the Committee will consider the appointment. Late submissions should be submitted no less than 72 hours before the meeting at which the Committee will consider the appointment. While discouraged, late submissions may also be accepted up until and during the meeting.
