JOIN THE CITY TEAM 
– APPLY TO BE A CITY 
COMMISSIONER

We want you to be a part of our City Team! 

The Sierra Madre City Council encourages citizen participation in 
its decision-making process through the use of citizen commissions. 
Currently, there are five citizen commissions established by the 
Council to advise and assist them in dealing with specific problems.

Applications may be obtained at City Hall or the City website at 
http://cityofsierramadre.com/commissions-boards-committees. 
Applications will be accepted until all positions are filled; however, it 
is recommended that applications for appointment for the beginning 
of the 2013-2014 fiscal year be submitted by Friday, June 7, 2013 to the 
City Manager’s Office.

The advisory bodies study a variety of topics in detail. After gathering 
all pertinent information, hearing arguments, and weighing values, 
they recommend to the Council what they consider the best action 
to take. In certain situations, commissions are empowered to make 
specific decisions, subject to appeal to the Council. Public notices on 
all commissions are prepared in compliance of the Maddy Act.

COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION

The Community Services Commission is responsible for overseeing 
the City’s recreation and community services programs. The 
Commission oversees the general use of park facilities and matters 
relating to the community’s arts and recreational service needs. The 
Commission provides information and recommendations to the City 
Council in these areas. Meets the 3rd Monday at 6:30 pm, in the City 
Hall Council Chamber

at 7:00 pm, in the City Hall Conference Room

PLANNING COMMISSION

The responsibilities of the Planning Commission fall into two broad 
categories: consideration of current land-use (i.e. applications for 
General Plan amendments, zone changes, specific plans, conditional 
use permits, tract maps, variances, and appeals of staff land-use 
decisions); and advising the City Council on City initiated amendments 
to the City’s General Plan. Meets the 1st and 3rd Thursday at 7:00 pm, 
in the City Hall Council Chamber

SENIOR COMMUNITY COMMISSION

The Senior Community Commission is responsible for defining the 
needs, locating and publicizing available resources, coordinating 
and initiating services and opportunities for the senior population 
of Sierra Madre. Meets the 1st Thursday at 3:00 pm, in the City Hall 
Council Chamber

TREE ADVISORY COMMISSION

The Tree Commission is an advisory body to the Director of Public 
Works, City Manager, Planning Commission, and City Council. The 
commission shall make recommendations to the Director of Public 
Works, City Manager, Planning Commission and the City Council 
as appropriate on matters involving care and maintenance of City-
