Openings on multiple boards and commissions

The City Council of Bellevue is calling for candidates to fill vacancies on several influential boards and commissions, which are essential for shaping local policies and community projects. Residents have until 5 p. m. on April 14, 2025, to submit their applications online. The article specifies openings for the Environmental Services Commission, which advises on utility services; the Parks & Community Services Board, which guides park planning and community services; and the Transportation Commission, tasked with reviewing transportation policies.

To be eligible, applicants must be residents of Bellevue, except for those applying to the Environmental Services Commission, who should live in the Bellevue Utilities service area. The city is keen on fostering diversity and strongly encourages all interested individuals to apply. Application forms are accessible online as well as at various city locations such as the City Clerk’s Office and local libraries. For questions regarding the boards' roles, interested candidates can reach out to Deputy City Clerk Karin Roberts. This initiative not only empowers residents to participate in governance but also enriches the community by integrating diverse perspectives into decision-making processes.
