Music to zoning — City of Rochester has several open board positions
Mayor Ardell Brede's office has put out a call for Rochester residents interested in filling multiple open positions on citizen oversight committees:
Here's the list:
- Music Board
- Committee on Urban Design & Environment (CUDE)
- Mayo Civic Center Commission
- Planning and Zoning Commission
- Rochester Public Utilities Board
- Zoning Board of Appeals
The mayor is responsible for interviewing candidates and submitting his choices to the city council. Each board/committee meets about once a month and is responsible for making recommendations to city staff and the council.
The positions are volunteer based and offer no compensation. However, they do provide community members a hands-on experience in city government.
