Menlo Park welcomes and encourages residents' active participation through serving on a City-appointed commission or committee. Commissions examine issues of community interest and make recommendations to the City Council on policy matters. Each commission reviews specific subjects and carries out assignments as directed by the City Council or as prescribed by law.

New opportunities to serve on the Housing Commission and the Sister City Committee are now available. In the past year, commissions have played an instrumental role in providing feedback on important City project including: the General Plan Update, Facebook Campus Expansion, and more. For application and more info on the City commissions and committees, please visit the commissions webpage.

Applications are due to the City Clerk’s Office on July 10, 2017 by 5:30 p.m.
