Boards and commissions are categorized by the Municipal Code as follows:

Service Area Supervisory Boards

These boards focus on overseeing local road, fire or recreational services within a specific geographical area. Board members, elected by the community, must reside in the area they represent.

Regulatory and Adjudicatory Boards and Commissions

These entities set standards, grant waivers and may impose fines to uphold these standards.​​​​

Program Advisory Boards

These boards provide advice to the mayor and the assembly on specific community programs and needs.
