“By serving on a city commission, you can participate in local government and help plan the future of Davis,” a news release said. “Commissions serve as a conduit for citizen input — a way of gathering, analyzing and recommending options to the City Council.

“Commissions provide an important avenue for determining the community’s feelings about various issues and extending the reach of the democratic process.”

The deadline to apply is Nov. 21. Only Davis residents are eligible.

Applications are available at the city clerk’s office at City Hall, 23 Russell Blvd., Suite 4, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, online at www.cityofdavis.org/cmo/commapp.cfm or by calling (530) 757-5648 (an application can be mailed or emailed to interested residents).

Applicants are invited to include a résumé or other information to help the City Council in the selection process. All applications and accompanied documents are considered public information and may be disclosed/released pursuant to the California Public Records Act.

Applications are submitted to City Council for appointment at a regular council meeting; appointments are tentatively scheduled for Dec. 6.
