Serving on a commission, board or committee is a great way to get involved in your community. These city advisory bodies serve as a forum for community input and bring new ideas to the City Council.
Serve on a San Marcos commission, board or committee
If you would like to serve on a commission, board or committee, the first step is to submit an application. On the application, you may list the advisory body or bodies that interest you.
Most terms expire on June 30 or December 31 every two or four years, depending on the body. We publish a list of planned vacancies each December for the year ahead. This list includes all of the terms set to expire for each commission, board and committee.
From time to time, unplanned vacancies occur, when appointed members cannot complete their terms. Vacancy notices are published on this web page, along with the deadline to submit an application. Applications remain active for one year and may be used for unexpected vacancies. If you are not selected during the year and still want to serve, submit a new application, and the one-year period starts over.
Learn about the appointment process
Appointments are made by the Mayor and City Council following interviews with applicants. Members serve at the will of the City Council or until a qualified successor has been appointed.
Commission, board and committee compensation
Some commissions, boards and committees offer a stipend for meeting attendance. Detailed information is available on their respective webpages.
Requirements to serve on San Marcos commissions, boards and committees
To be considered, applicants must be a "qualified elector" in the City of San Marcos. This means you must be registered to vote in San Marcos.
Some commissions, boards and committees have additional requirements. You can find this information on each body's webpage.
Reporting requirements
All public officials, including members of commissions, boards and committees, must file an annual Conflict of Interest form with the City Clerk’s office. These forms are public records and available to the public upon request. The forms require disclosure of information about income, business ownership, property interests in the community and gifts received. Members may not vote on items that create a conflict of interest, typically when a member would benefit financially from a certain outcome.

Kanan, Kyle & Kory Cox formed Kanan Road over 15 years ago as teenagers in Palmdale, California. They named the band after the road their father used to take to the beach in Malibu, CA. Dad was an avid surfer and music lover too. Digging through their dad’s music collection (all vinyl of course), they became influenced by greats like The Allman Brothers, Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, Outlaws & Charlie Daniels, but also others like Bad Company, Jackson Browne & The Eagles to name but a few.
With new members Drew Howard on Bass & Roy Hernandez on Drums, Kanan Road consistently delivers unforgettable, high-energy live performances that are filled with heartfelt precision. Kanan Road has shared the stage with Trace Adkins, Lonestar, The Marshall Tucker Band, The Dan Band, Love & Theft, Chase Bryant, Gloriana, The Band Perry, Scotty McCreery, Joe Nichols, Easton Corbin, Josh Gracin, Blue Oyster Cult, Molly Hatchet among others at venues from The House of Blues to The Temecula Balloon & Wine Festival, to the The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville to the Canyon Club in Agoura, wineries, fairs and private events. The band released their newest album “Back on Track” in 2014, which is now available on cd or digital download on iTunes, CDBaby, and at all Kanan Road shows. Kanan Road is the real deal. Real songs, real instruments, real players, real music!
Children 12 and under are free! Doors open at 6:00pm with the show starting at 7:30pm. Please bring blankets and/or low-back chairs. NO DOGS ALLOWED.
