Citizen participation in local government is strongly encouraged.   Citizen volunteers provide time, talent, knowledge and enthusiasm to add to that of elected officials and City Staff.  

Recruitment of citizens to serve on the City's various Commissions and Committees is handled by the City Clerk's Department.  Anyone interested in volunteering on a commission should contact the City Clerk's Department at (760) 633-2601.  Annual Recruitment occurs in January of each year.

The skills and commitment volunteers bring to public service is an important resource to the community.  Each commission page displays a brief description of the committee, their representatives, meeting times, agendas and minutes.
