Boards, Commissions and Committees

The City is now accepting applications to serve on the Zoning Commission for a two-year term beginning November 19, 2024 and ending November 2026. Applications are due by November 15, 2024.

Additionally, the City is seeking volunteers to serve on the Budget and Finance Committee. Three more members need to be seated in order for the Committee to have a quorum.

The City of Sunset Valley’s volunteer Boards, Commissions and Committees support activities of the city government. Sunset Valley residents may apply for participation in a City Council Committee. While we encourage all our residents to participate in their government, we cannot guarantee a spot on a committee for all.

General guidelines that are applicable to all City Council standing committees are contained in Chapter 31 of the Code of Ordinances. Committee members have been included in the definition of City Official, and as such, must abide by the guidelines of the City Ethics Ordinance, approved by City Council May 8, 2012.
