The City of Newport is soliciting applications from interested community members for multiple openings on various committees/volunteer advisory boards. Committees are a great way to give back to the community, help shape the future direction of the Newport community and provide an introduction to local government function and operations.
The vacancies to be filled include:
• 60+ Advisory Committee
• Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee
• City Council Stipend/Compensation Work Group (Temporary/Limited Duration
Group)
• Parking Advisory Committee
• Planning Commission
• Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee
• Police Advisory Committee
• Vision 2040 Advisory Committee
The Planning Commission meets twice a month, and makes decisions related to zoning,
land use and development, membership is restricted to members within Newport City
limits. Other committees generally allow service from those residing outside City limits.
Most of the other committees meet monthly at City Hall, during day or evening hours
and terms vary in length from 1 year to 5 years. More information and applications are available on the city’s website. Applications can be submitted online at https://newportoregon.gov/citygov/comm/commapp.asp
