City seeks volunteers for city commissions

The City of Sonoma is seeking applicants to serve on several city commissions. In addition to
openings for regular positions on two commissions, the city also is seeking applicants for
“alternate” positions on each commission. New guidelines for the participation of
alternates at commission meetings and for the appointment of alternates to regular positions
when vacancies occur have been proposed and will be considered by the city council. These changes are expected to result in a more satisfying experience for alternate
commissioners.
City residents may serve as regular members or alternates on the commissions. Nonresidents
may serve only as regular members, not as alternates.
Interested citizens are invited to apply for the following positions:
• Traffic Safety Committee: Three regular and one alternate. (One of the regular positions need
not be a city resident)
• Community Services and Environment Commission – one regular and one alternate. (Regular
position need not be a City resident.)
• Planning Commission – one alternate position.
• Cultural & Fine Arts Commission – one alternate position.
• Design Review Commission – One alternate position.
