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.

Vacancies

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.
