CITY OF ASTORIA CURRENTLY TAKING APPLICATIONS FOR ADVISORY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS

Astoria Mayor Arline LaMear will soon be making appointments to the City’s various Boards and Commissions. Selection of Board and Commission members is a function of the Astoria City Mayor using recommendations by City Council members, City staff and department heads, and through volunteer applications. Volunteer committees offer citizens the opportunity to be involved in the community in a number of ways. Volunteers are a huge and valuable resource without which the City would not be able to provide a number of services. A brief description of the various Boards and Commissions is included on the “Citizen Advisory Committees Application Form”. If you are interested in serving on any of the City of Astoria's volunteer committees, the application form may be accessed by clicking the following link: Citizen Advisory Committee Application The application form is also available in the Mayor’s Office on the third floor of City Hall.
