I think its been a bit of a struggle to get people to serve on City Committees lately. The “rubber stamp” phenomenon and the Mayor failing to re-appoint people who don’t agree with him has made it somewhat interesting. But please, don’t let that stop you from applying. Here’s the vacancies I think we have:
- ADA TRANSIT SUBCOM TO THE TRANSIT & PARKING COMM (majority of members are representative of disabled citizens)
- AFFIRMATIVE ACTION COMMISSION
- COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT COMMISSION
- DOWNTOWN COORDINATING COMMITTEE
- EARLY CHILDHOOD CARE AND EDUCATION BOARD
- ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
- EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES COMMISSION
- ERLANGER, JEFFREY CLAY, CIVILITY IN PUBLIC DISCOURSE AWARD COMMITTEE
- GARDENS, COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY
- HEATING & ELECTRICAL LICENSING COM. (Subcom. of Bldg/Fire Code/License Appls Bd)
- MADISON ELECTION ADVISORY COMMITTEE
- PARKING COUNCIL FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
- PLAN COMMISSION
- PUBLIC SAFETY REVIEW BOARD
- PUBLIC WORKS, BOARD OF
- REVIEW, BOARD OF
- SUSTAINABLE DESIGN AND ENERGY COMMITTEE
- URBAN DESIGN COMMISSION
- VENDING OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE
- WATER UTILITY BOARD
If you’re interested, applications can be found here. I’d encourage you to apply for any and all committees you are interested in – even if there isn’t a vacancy, as you never know when there might be one. Also, this is a Mayor that loves the resume, so attach one if you have a current one.
