A number of City of Richmond boards, commissions and committees have vacancies, or the terms of some members have expired. This is an opportunity to serve diverse interests of city government. Most, but not all, bodies require members to be Richmond residents.

The table below is a summary of information extracted from the city clerk’s website (http://www.ci.richmond.ca.us/index.asp?nid=256) and may not be completely accurate and up to date, but it is probably close.

To find out more about what each body does and what the qualifications are, if any, go to the Richmond Municipal Code at http://bpc.iserver.net/codes/richmond/index.htm and click on Article III BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS* .
