The City Council uses every opportunity to establish community participation programs to allow for citizen involvement and input. The City's many boards and commissions are created to allow Flagstaff citizens to take an active role in City government. The City Attorney has submitted a few recommended changes to the Board and Commission Manual, and with a recent request by Council to have a brief report from the City Clerk's Office on the applicant outreach efforts and selection of the Council Interview Teams, we thought it made sense to combine these topics into one general discussion.
