It's that time of the year again when application for the following boards, commissions, and committees are accepted. I myself served three years on the Storm Water advisory committee and enjoyed the heck out of the experience.

See Boards, Committees, and commissions link on left hand side of home page
Some committees require more time to prepare and a good deal of knowledge on some subjects like Planning. If this is your first time to volunteer and you've not been involved in the 'process' before you likely will not get planning or zoning, but the other boards are good ones to get your feet wet.

I believe the deadline for applying is March 5, and the application can be found here (PDF warning). Good luck!
