City of Bloomington Seeks Residents to Serve on Boards and Commissions
The City of Bloomington is inviting residents to fill vacancies on various boards and commissions, which are essential for local governance and community engagement. Among the positions available is the Board of Public Safety, responsible for overseeing the city's police and fire departments, and the CDBG Funding Citizens Advisory Committee, which reviews community development grants.
