| City Boards and Commissions are the underpinnings of our community
- they are how the community navigates the daily and weekly decisions
that make Riverside run smoothly to become the kind of community
we all want. Your Mayor and City Council members encourage your
participation. These are voluntary positions and to be eligible
a citizen must reside in Riverside and be a registered voter. The
terms of office are four years and members may serve as many as
two consecutive terms.

Applications are accepted year-round, except for the Riverside
Youth Council which only accepts applications from February 1 through

There are current mid-year vacancies for several boards and commissions. If there are no vacancies this year
for the board or commission of your interest,
your application will be kept on file for one year for consideration should
a mid-year vacancy occur. The various boards and commissions meet
at different times, generally once or twice a month. |
