City of Pasco Invites Residents to Serve Their Community on Local Boards and Commissions

​The City of Pasco is calling on passionate, community-minded residents to help shape the future of our city by serving on one of several open boards and commissions. These volunteer positions offer residents a direct way to contribute their ideas, expertise, and perspectives to the decision-making process that guides Pasco’s growth and character.

“Pasco thrives when our community members share their time and talents,” said Mayor David Milne. “Serving on a board or commission is one of the most meaningful ways residents can make a lasting impact on the city they call home.”

Boards and commissions typically meet once every month. Most positions are open to Pasco residents and have terms ranging from 2026 to 2031. Each board plays a unique role in shaping city policy, from supporting local arts and culture to guiding housing, planning, and public safety.

The City is currently accepting applications for the following boards and commissions:

• Arts & Culture Commission – Positions 4, 5, and 6 (Art Professionals and Artist positions)
• Civil Service Commission – Position 4
• Code Enforcement Board – Position 4
• Housing Authority Board of the City of Pasco & Franklin County – Position 5
• Planning Commission – Positions 7 and 8
  
  

Applications are due Sunday, November 2, 2025. Candidate interviews will take place at Pasco City Hall on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, followed by City Council confirmation on November 17, 2025.

Newly appointed members will be invited to attend a Boards & Commissions Onboarding Session in early December, where they will meet fellow members and City staff.
