Citizens looking to get more involved can now apply for various boards and commissions. From now until May 3, Southlake residents can fill out an application and return it to the city’s secretary office via mail, email or fax.
The new mayor and city council will be making appointments to the Building Board of Appeals, Parks and Recreation Board, Planning and Zoning Commission, Southlake Parks and Development Corporation and the Zoning Board of Adjustment on June 15.
Each appointment to a board and commission is for two years, unless you are appointed to fulfill a vacancy. Those currently serving and interested in continuing to serve must also reapply for their position if their term is ending.
To be considered, applicants must meet certain criteria: like being registered to vote within the city, have resided within Southlake for at least six months and be over 18 years old. For more information, visit the board and commissions city website.
