 Applications to serve on a commission may be obtained at City Hall or the City website at http://cityofsierramadre.com/commissions-boardscommittees. 
Applications will be accepted until all positions are filled; however, it is recommended that applications for appointment for the 
beginning of the 2014-2015 fiscal year be submitted by Friday, May 23, 2014 to the City Manager’s Office. There are currently vacancies on the 
following commissions: 

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 Chambers

are provided at the Library. Meets the 4th Wednesday at 7:00 pm, in the City Hall Council Chambers 

PLANNING COMMISSION 
The responsibilities of the Planning Commission fall into two broad categories: consideration of current land-use (i.e. applications for General

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

decisions, subject to appeal to the Council. Public notices on all commissions are prepared in compliance of the Maddy Act.
