Fayetteville City Council members approved 41 residents to serve on the city's boards and commissions starting April 1. Council members approved the appointees during the March 13 City Council regular meeting.
Boards and commissions consist of volunteers who are appointed by the city council to serve as the link that connects residents to its governing body and serve as advisors that help shape the policies and programs of Fayetteville.
There are some boards and commissions that require members to have particular expertise and positions.
The list of new appointments includes:
Airport Commission
Board of Appeals
Community Police Advisory Board
Ethics Commission
Fayetteville Advisory Committee on Transit (FACT)
Fair Housing Board
Fayetteville NEXT Commission
Historic Resources Commission
Human Relations Commission
NC Firefighter’s Relief Fund
Personnel Review Board
Planning Commission
Public Arts Commission
Stormwater Advisory Board
Zoning Commission
There are still openings for several boards and commissions. The City Council Appointment Committee generally makes recommendations for appointments twice a year. However, residents can apply at any time.
Term limits depend on several factors, including the board or commission's bylaws, or whether someone is filling a partial term.
