Welcome
CITIZEN COMMITTEES AND COMMISSIONS
While the City Council is charged with overseeing the general policies and governance of the City, there are also official civic bodies in Lakeport, all of which are important to the functioning of our city government and the well being of our citizens. In addition to their advisory duties, some of these commissions and committees also provide direction and recommendations to the City Council on specific issues. Virtually all citizens of Lakeport benefit from the efforts of the dedicated citizens who willingly give of their time to serve on these important civic bodies.
Board and commission members support city operations by supporting department initiatives, advising city officials on important matters and serving as ambassadors in their respective neighborhoods.

Residents who are interested in serving on a board or commission should note the following:
- To be considered, potential applicants must submit a completed Committee and Commissions Application to the City Clerk’s Office.
