Several boards, commissions and other committees appointed by the City Council provide the council with detailed study and recommendations on important policy matters. Without the assistance of these dedicated groups, the part-time council could give many complex and significant matters only limited review.
Other volunteer panels focus on specific interests important to residents.
You can explore all of the city's boards, commissions and other committees. When there is an opening on a city panel, it will be posted here, along with information for applying. The City Clerk's Office also carries out an annual recruitment for vacancies caused by terms expiring.
The City strongly encourages all candidates who meet the eligibility requirements to apply and seeks to appoint members to reflect Bellevue's diverse community, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, religion, gender, gender identification, sexual orientation, disability, and age.
