Recruitment is open for two advisory body vacancies

Published on August 14, 2023

The City is seeking applicants for two advisory body vacancies, one on the Parks and Recreation Commission and one on the Finance and Audit Commission.

Menlo Park welcomes and encourages residents' active participation through serving on a city commission or committee. Advisory commissions examine issues of community interest and make recommendations to the City Council on policy matters. Each advisory commission reviews specific subjects and carries out assignments as directed by the City Council or as prescribed by law. Each advisory commission establishes an annual work plan that is in line with the City Council's goals, which guides the commissions' activities and projects.

The Parks and Recreation Commission is charged primarily with advising the City Council on matters related to City programs and facilities dedicated to recreation.

The Parks and Recreation Commission recruitment is open through 5 p.m. Aug. 18.

The Finance and Audit Commission is charged primarily to support delivery of timely, clear and comprehensive reporting of the City’s fiscal status to the community at large.

The Finance and Audit recruitment is open through 5 p.m. Sept. 1.

Menlo Park residents over the age of 18 are encouraged to apply online at menlopark.gov/commissions.
