The Escondido City Council is preparing to begin their recruitment for volunteers to serve on eight boards and commissions. Vacancies will occur on all of the following: Building Advisory and Appeals Board; Community Services Commission; Historic Preservation Commission; Library Board of Trustees; Personnel Board of Review; Planning Commission; Public Art Commission; and Transportation and Community Safety Commission.

For the most part, the qualifications to serve are residency within the geographic boundaries of the General Plan.

The Planning Commission and Historic Preservation Commission require a resume to assure that you have specific expertise. The Library Board requires either residency or that you work within the geographic boundaries of the General Plan, and the Public Art Commission requires that you either reside or have a business within the designated boundaries.

Meeting times and frequency vary, depending on the commission, and the term of office is four years, with the exception of the Library Board, which has a three-year term and youth member on the Community Services Commission, who serves a one-year term. The application period will begin on January 2, 2018 with a closing date of Friday, February 16, 2018.
