City Boards and Commissions

In order to operate a City and represent the citizens of the entire community, the City Council relies on a number of boards, committees and commissions to help them understand the needs and desires of the community. The boards, committees or commissions are important to the operation of the City because they provide valuable insight and serve as an advisory to the City Council or to City staff.

All members of the City's boards, committees, and commissions are volunteers appointed by the Mayor and ratified by the Council.  If you would like more information or have specific questions about serving on any of the City of Stayton committees, please email us at citygovernment@staytonoregon.gov.
